The answers to these questions provide insight into the workings and changeability of our brains and contain examples like Einstein, Mata Hari, Ulrike Meinhof, Messi, Sven Kramer, Amy Winehouse and many others who passed away. Each theme is introduced by an overview of images. This is an understandable book for anyone interested in the mechanisms of the brain and behavior.
