Praise

Out of Your Mind is a highly creative way to convey science, especially about that most mysterious of all human organs, the brain. This is no dry text book, nor a comic book. It is a fun-filled trip, with clear and easy to read explanations, humor and wit, entertaining illustrations, and good storytelling to boot.”—Alan Lightman, author of The Transcendent Brain

“For anyone curious about the new frontiers of brain science, from why we love to how we remember, this playful and accessible approach is the perfect place to start.”—Casey Schwartz, author of In the Mind Fields: Exploring the New Science of Neuropsychoanalysis

“Human brains are the single greatest natural resource we have on the planet, and Jorge and Dwayne are two of my favorites.  Out of Your Mind is fascinating, moving, funny, and thoughtful (no pun intended).”—Ryan North, author of How to Invent Everything

“The most gentle and comprehensive introduction to the human mind—from cells to societies. Thanks to the lucid writing and charming art, after years of pretending, I now actually understand neurons and neural networks.”—Zach Weinersmith, illustrator and co-author of Soonish and A City on Mars

“With a witty and humorous combination of words and pictures, Cham and Godwin distill the intricacies of one of nature’s most complex phenomena—the human brain! They’ve created an accessible illustrated introduction to the cognitive roots of many of life’s mysteries . . . love, hate, fear, consciousness, and what makes us human. Out of Your Mind will stay on your mind, as you think about your mind!”—Neil Cohn, Ph.D., cognitive neuroscientist and author of The Visual Language of Comics
 
“Cham and Godwin dare to ask some of the most difficult questions about the human brain with a mix of prose and comics that will have you laughing as hard as you’re thinking.”—Matteo Farinella, author of Neurocomic

“A delightfully accessible and informative book about the brain for minds of all ages.”—R. Douglas Fields, PhD, author of Electric Brain

“As a theoretical physicist, I usually stay away from thinking about the brain because it’s too complicated. This book might just be the solution. Psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy are all explained in an engaging way that will fit well with just about anybody’s brain.”Sean Carroll, author of Quanta and Fields: The Biggest Ideas in the Universe

Out of Your Mind
will bring you into your brain. It will entertain you and charm you and yet respect the science that inspired it.”—Antonio Damasio, author of Descartes’ Error
