Steven Johnson's new book is on sale now.

Amazon says: Mind Wide Open both satisfies curiosity and provokes more questions, leaving readers wondering about their own gray matter.

Publishers Weekly says: It's the rare popular science book that not only gives the reader a gee-whiz glimpse at an emerging field, but also offers a guide for incorporating its new insights into one's own worldview. Johnson does just that in his fascinating, engagingly written new survey.

Booklist says: Spreading a gospel to be curious about one's own mind, Johnson will snare even those unfamiliar with brain science.

The book cover says: To read Mind Wide Open is to rethink family histories, individual fates, and the very nature of the self.
