Summary: The Encyclopedia of the Human Mind
Comment: Whether you use this book as a reference or read it cover to cover, The Owner's Manual for the Brain is a great book to have around. From describing the most basic fundamentals of how the human brain functions to analyzing the latest research in various fields of psychology, the author presents each topic in an easy to understand manner that is enjoyable to read as it is informative.
The best part of this book is that every sub-chapter includes a list of "applications" for what you have just read. This elevates the book from the simple listing of facts to an extremely usable tool. I would dare anyone to read this book and not come away with at least one application that could not vastly improve their life. Time with this book is time well spent.

Summary: This book should replace every self-help book in the market.
Comment: "The Owner's Manual for the Brain" is filled to the binding with interesting, informative, concise, and above all, ENTERTAINING articles that breaks our sometimes inexplicable human behavior down to its simplest forms. I didn't get it back for over two months when I brought it to work to show around; I kept finding it on other people's desks.
Each article reads like a magazine sidebar, designed so that the average person can not only learn something new, but learn to apply it as well. Move over pop-psychology and self-help authors! It covers why blue rooms lower blood pressure and stress, why men tend to like food sweeter than women, why women have a better sense of smell, and why men are able to talk about sports and work on a car at the same time, while women are able to combine right and left brain activities. The amount of information contained in "The Owner's Manual for the Brain" is as staggering as the amount of space your brain never uses in a lifetime-- but you'll never find out unless you pick it up.

Summary: The Owners Manual for the Brain
Comment: Theres some really outdated information in here, ie. "there is no none benifits to taking Fish Oil" ...not according to the Physicians Desk Reference for the Mental Health Practitioners. The author seems very opinionated and makes some very broad sweeping statements.
