Award-winning science writer Helen Thomson unlocks the biggest mysteries of the human brain by examining nine extraordinary cases

Our brains are far stranger than we think. We take it for granted that we can remember, feel emotion, navigate, empathise and understand the world around us, but how would our lives change if these abilities were dramatically enhanced - or disappeared overnight?

Helen Thomson has spent years travelling the world, tracking down incredibly rare brain disorders. In Unthinkable she tells the stories of nine extraordinary people she encountered along the way. From the man who thinks he's a tiger to the doctor who feels the pain of others just by looking at them to a woman who hears music that's not there, their experiences illustrate how the brain can shape our lives in unexpected and, in some cases, brilliant and alarming ways.

Story by remarkable story, Unthinkable takes us on an unforgettable journey through the human brain. Discover how to forge memories that never disappear, how to grow an alien limb and how to make better decisions. Learn how to hallucinate and how to make yourself happier in a split second. Find out how to avoid getting lost, how to see more of your reality, even how exactly you can confirm you are alive. Think the unthinkable.

I love this mixer
Size: Basic Frother, Color: Black
I love this mixer. I don't know how we got along before we had this. We have had this small hand mixer for 2 years, using it several times every day, day after day and it finally stopped working and I am ordering another one right now. I can't live without it. I make our bullet coffee with it. My wife makes her morning shake with it. I could go on and on but I need to get another one ordered right now.

Works perfectly!
Size: Basic Frother, Color: Silver
The first unit I got, the charging LED was not working so I don't know if the unit is charged. I returned the unit back to Amazon and got a brand new unit the next day. Great job, Amazon! The 2nd unit has been perform perfectly. I use it to whisk eggs in the morning to make French toasts, waffles, pancakes. All comes out perfect! Also, the mike froth for my morning latte and cappuccino. Don't under estimate this small unit, the spin is fast for high!!! I saw some negative review on the durability of the unit. I hope this is not the case. I'll update if anything changes. As for now, highly recommended!!!
