Reviews
A searing account. Adam [writes] with honesty, compassion and even humor about a malady so often stigmatized and caricatured.
Writing in an imminently accessible style, Adam treats readers to countless fascinating anecdotes, such as the advent of the IQ test. A fun and at times disturbing romp through the history of brain science and society's attempts to measure intelligence. If cognitive enhancement is in our future, this is an entertaining place to begin to understand what it entails.
The Genius Within moves out of the medical world and into schools and workplaces, bringing us to the cutting edge of neuroenhancement.
A fine journalistic account of how science can make you smarter. Adam delivers a sensible, often skeptical review of his subject.
Adam is a companionable Virgil . . . explaining scientific concepts in clear, nontechnical prose.
A compelling portrait. This is the most comprehensive and compassionate book on OCD to date, and it offers hope that our thinking and behavior both individual and collective can change.
