What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

I read this book this past summer and I believe it was published within the last 4 years. The author is a male, British doctor, possibly a neuroscientist, and young-ish, maybe in his mid-thirties. He said something about how people might not take him seriously because he was so young (I think).

He wrote about how the brain works and how it works against us quite often - the things we remember and the things we don't (like book titles!), how we misremember things, how we perceive things, etc., basically describing all the regions of the brain and what they are known to do, and how they mess up sometimes.

There was a section on mental illnesses too.

That is all I think I remember at the moment.

The Idiot Brain by Dean Burnett

Idiot Brain: What Your Head Is Really Up To for the link.

Thanks, but I am pretty sure that isn't it :)

AHA! You and Rosa were right, I just moved a stack of papers, and found the name of the book written down with some stars beside it, indicating that I have read it and liked it! Woot! Thank you for your help!!
