Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain (by Barrett, Lisa Feldman)
1.這本書的原文是英文，中文版與日文版都是翻譯版本。
2.此書的主旨是：大腦並非為思考用，大腦的功能是讓生物生存下去。( 參考附註1)
3.將這三本書的封面擺在一起，會發現其共通性在於藍色，這表示提到大腦，人們依舊聯想到思考、創意等這些大腦的功能。
附註1：以下節錄A conversation with Lisa Feldman Barrett, author of Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain
Q: How does your brain work?
A: During much of the last century, scientists thought your brain worked sort of like a muscle – the world stimulates it, and it reacts. The stimulation would come from the outside world in the form of sights, sounds, smells, and other sense data. But scientists have learned that brain’s billions of neurons are continuously in conversation, guessing what might happen next and preparing your body in advance to deal with it. It’s issuing predictions that launch what you do and see and feel, but it happens so quickly that you feel like you’re reacting!
