Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain Book by David Eagleman (Farsi)

Description

Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain is a New York Times bestselling nonfiction book by American neuroscientist and Stanford University professor David Eagleman. The book explores the relationship between the conscious and unconscious mind, arguing that most brain activity occurs beyond our awareness. Eagleman suggests that the conscious self—the part we identify as “who we are”—is only a small fragment of a much larger system, likening it to a stowaway on a steamship who enjoys the journey without understanding the vast engineering beneath. Through neuroscience, psychology, and real-world examples, the book examines how the hidden brain shapes behavior, decisions, identity, and free will, challenging traditional ideas of self-control and consciousness.
