So begins The Brain: A Users Manual, Marco Magrinis fascinating guide to the inner workings of one of natures most miraculous but misunderstood creations: the human brain.

Cutting through the noise of modern pop psychology, The Brain: A Users Manual is a refreshingly factual approach to self-help. Written with a deft style and wry humour, it offers tips on everything from maximising productivity to retaining memory and boosting your mood
