The Biology of Everyday: The Unofficial Owner's Manual for the Human Body

Your body glitches. You just don't know why.

Your heart suddenly races. Your foot goes numb. You suddenly feel like you've lived the exact same moment before. You wake up exhausted despite sleeping for hours. You feel your phone vibrating when it isn't even in your pocket.

This book takes you under the hood.

From the brain circuits behind panic and déjà vu to the hormones behind cravings, the nerves behind pins and needles, and the strange mechanisms that make you yawn when someone else does, each chapter takes an ordinary experience and explains what is actually happening beneath the surface.

No medical degree required. No textbook-style lectures. Just the science behind the weird things your body does every day.

You already live inside the machine. Might as well learn how it works.
