Hi Francesca, as a matter of fact I'm currently
reading it. It's an interesting book indeed, but
the authors find it hard to hide their religious
polarization though. Especially to Americans God
doesn't seem to go away indeed. The book is valuable
nonetheless and the authors demonstrate a satisfactory
explanation of workings of the brain on a popular
digestible level.
