Other Side of Normal

In this enthralling work of popular science respected Harvard psychiatrist Jordan Smoller addresses one of humankind's most enduring and perplexing questions: What does it mean to be normal? In <em>The Other Side of Normal</em> Smoller explores the biological component of normalcy revealing the hidden side of our everyday behaviors--why we love what we love and fear what we fear. Other bestselling works of neurobiology and the mind have focused on mental illness and abnormal behaviors--like the Oliver Sacks classic <em>The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat</em>--but <em>The Other Side of Normal</em> is an eye-opening thought-provoking utterly fascinating and totally accessible exploration of the universals of human experience. It will change forever our understanding of who we are and what makes us that way.<br />
