Guys,

I just purchased a Time Supplement called "The Brain - A User's Guide" for $12.95 from my local drugstore

It's terrific! I cannot recommend it enough.

I presume that you are familiar with Time magazine and you could imagine an article on "Sleep".
The Mine
Consciousness
Learning
Disorders
Maturing
Genius
Memory
Morality
The World Within - This chapter talks to some of the past theories such as phrenology
Addiction
Healing

Imagine all these articles in the style of Time magazine in one volume.

I presume that you are familiar with Time magazine...Actually I've never read it. I'm even getting behind on my New Scientist and Scientific American reading :)

Does it contain anything new or groundbreaking? Or is it a summary of the latest research? Tell me more - I'm interested.

New Scientist and Scientific American

That probably keeps you very well informed so I don't think that you would find anything new in this.

However, next time you're in a bookstore or drugstore, go over to the magazine rack and have a look at it. Ya never know.

I'll probably finish it tomorrow and I am enjoying it.

By the way. You may be familiar with Newsweak? Time magazine is very much like newsweak, only it's more highbrow!

I know of Time magazine, silly :) I was just saying that I don't read it. And I was more interested in why you in particular thought it was good. I...

Nevermind.

No way. I was here first. :p

Anyway, you actually agreed with something I posted in another thread. So may be there is hope . . . for one of us. :scared:
