Currently reading -- Taking Lives by Michael Pye

Perception is a television series on a neuropsychiatrist who do lectures in university and also helped the FBI in solving crime.

The interesting part is that the main character Daniel Pierce played by Eric McCormack, who has mental disorder of schizophrenia. 

It helps, maybe, put a more positive light on people who are suffering from mental illness but are currently medicated and managing the disease and still lead meaningful life.

Another good stuff about this is the consultant on board, David Eagleman, a real life neuroscientist who also wrote the popular science book "Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain". 

The book is for beginner, which many reviews stated that it does not contain enough "meat" to encourage the readers who already know the basic.

It is hard to read this after reading Steven Pinker, so this one has to wait a long while. 

Back to the TV series Perception.

I like it a lot because it got bits from Incognito and it is not some half-ass theory blowing out of the writers' ass. 

I like the fact that goes with the show. Presenting false information should be an offence that television shows that did that would get a penalty for not doing enough research or not hiring the right persons to be their consultant. 

I don't watch a lot of TV for that reasons. Plus there are just too many books waiting for me. 

This is an interesting video by David Eagleman.

We are trying to make sense of our mind and how our brain.

Explaining  what we now know about the brain. I've not read the book yet but it sounds interesting.

I'm hungry for a good read, and reading own and not read "Steven Pinker" is good. But I'm running out.

Need more books. I do prefer either very brainy books, or young adults books. The inbetween is the one I grow distance from.

The new Helen Fielding book is out, but if it is another 40 something missing out on what she could do when she was still young and free, I'm not buying it. As a older person, one has more knowledge to move forward, not necessary upward in the world, but forward as in understand a bit more of the world we live in, and start caring about the policy of the government that disadvantaged minority or the poor, or system that need to fix so that more people coexist happily.

A book on how she still worries about her weight, or her nails would make me think she is just a moron. If she lost interest in sex, let her partner has sex with someone else. Why not? If she is not doing, let someone else do it.

I have not read the book and should not pre-judge it. But I'm tired of "women centered" book still center around men.

As in the title.
