Based groundbreaking new research, We Are Our Brains is a sweeping biography of the human brain, from infancy to adulthood to old age. Renowned neuroscientist D. F. Swaab takes us on a guided tour of the intricate inner workings that determine our potential, our limitations, and our desires, with each chapter serving as an eye-opening window on a different stage of brain development: the gender differences that develop in the embryonic brain, what goes on in the heads of adolescents, how parenthood permanently changes the brain.
Moving beyond pure biological understanding, Swaab presents a controversial and multilayered ethical argument surrounding the brain. Far from possessing true free will, Swaab argues, we have very little control over our everyday decisions, or who we will become, because our brains predetermine everything about us, long before we are born, from our moral character to our religious leanings to whom we fall in love with. And he challenges many of our prevailing assumptions about what makes us human, decoding the intricate “moral networks” that allow us to experience emotion, revealing maternal instinct to be the result of hormonal changes in the pregnant brain, and exploring the way that religious “imprinting” shapes the brain during childhood. Rife with memorable case studies, We Are Our Brains is already a bestselling international phenomenon. It aims to demystify the chemical and genetic workings of our most mysterious organ, in the process helping us to see who we are through an entirely new lens.

在台北诚品书局买的实体书，封面设计跟豆瓣上不太一样。此书可做脑科学入门读物，但其中某些观点欠客观，建议读的时候辩证分析。

对于我们生命体验以及思维（mind）的物质性有了更深的认识。大脑是一个机器，是物质的，认识这个机器能有助于好好利用这个机器，“我”是为了方便驾驶机器而产生的概念，有些人天生有一个更好的机器，成为我们所说的天才，“我们”也不必羡慕，作为一个驾驶员，车好不好是一方面，驾驶技术怎么样，开到哪里去，在经验世界里更重要
