The Performance Cortex"In an era of continuous self-optimization,

The Case Against Reality"The brain is a messy, faulty wonder, and if we could all agree that perfection is not the mind's ultimate goal, we would be much better off. Henning Beck shows us how to appreciate our imperfect brains-and is fine with readers straying from the page from time to time!"
