2007 notable books on the mind
Written on December 13, 2007
Though not considered “notable” by the New York Times, the following titles are my picks for the top mind books of 2007. I came up with seven, listed in roughly chronological order, so there is room for a few more nominations to make a Top Ten.
1. The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science (James H. Silberman Books)
(featured on the latest Brain Science Podcast)
2. I Am a Strange Loop
3. The Stuff of Thought: Language as a Window into Human Nature
4. Happier: Learn the Secrets to Daily Joy and Lasting Fulfillment
5. Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain
6. Proust Was a Neuroscientist
7. The Head Trip: Adventures on the Wheel of Consciousness
Maybe not strictly a “mind” book but certainly another notable book of the year: Everything Is Miscellaneous: The Power of the New Digital Disorder
12/16/07 – a belated addition: Making up the Mind: How the Brain Creates Our Mental World
