"The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" is populated by a cast as strange as that of the most fantastic fiction. The subject of this strange and wonderful book is what happens when things go wrong with parts of the brain most of us don't know exist ...Dr Sacks shows the awesome powers of our mind and just how delicately balanced they have to be' - "Sunday Times". 'Who is this book for? Who is it not for? It is for everybody who has felt from time to time that certain twinge of self-identity and sensed how easily, at any moment, one might lose it' - "The Times". 'This is, in the best sense, a serious book. It is, indeed, a wonderful book, by which I mean not only that it is excellent (which it is) but also that it is full of wonder, wonders and wondering. He brings to these often unhappy people understanding, sympathy and respect. Sacks is always learning from his patients, marvelling at them, widening his own understanding and ours' - "Punch".

評分剛開始做谘詢和演講的時候,前輩告訴我,這個行業不如我想象的好玩。我說這是我的兼職,純粹興趣愛好,可以保持那種世外的淡定。 前輩還說,你會接觸到各種各樣的人。我說閱人無數是我的目標之一。 隨著對這個行業的深入,總會有一種莫名的責任與壓力越來越重,曾經自己略帶悲...
評分起初拿起這本書,很容易想起中文的《天纔在左,瘋子在右》。不過讀完後發覺差彆還是很大的,本書的注意力主要放在人類的大腦上,研究各種腦部“病變”引起的行為失常,而且對於這些案例作者都進行瞭相當有深度的思考和極具人文關懷的發問。而《天》則更像是一係列的獵奇,案例...
評分“你知道,我有一個芬蘭籍的患者,因為大腦障礙,把身旁的妻子看成帽子,拼命地想往頭上戴。還有一個為瞭治療癲癇病而被切斷胼胝體的英國人,當他用右手扣扣子的同時,左手始終準備解扣子;又或者看到去療養院探望他的妻子,右手準備擁抱,左手卻又放手,真是令人啼笑皆非。記...
