Award-winning science writer Anil Ananthaswamy smartly explores the concept of self by way of several mental conditions that eat away at patients identities, showing we learn a lot about being human from people with a fragmented or altered sense of self.

He charts how the self is affected by Asperger s, autism, Alzheimer s, epilepsy, schizophrenia, among many other mental conditions, revealing how the brain constructs our sense of self.
