Award-winning science writer Helen Thomson unlocks the biggest mysteries of the human brain by examining nine extraordinary cases

Our brains are far stranger than we think. We take it for granted that we can remember, feel emotion, navigate, empathise and understand the world around us, but how would our lives change if these abilities were dramatically enhanced - or disappeared overnight?

Helen Thomson has spent years travelling the world, tracking down incredibly rare brain disorders. In Unthinkable she tells the stories of nine extraordinary people she encountered along the way. From the man who thinks he's a tiger to the doctor who feels the pain of others just by looking at them to a woman who hears music that's not there, their experiences illustrate how the brain can shape our lives in unexpected and, in some cases, brilliant and alarming ways.

Story by remarkable story, Unthinkable takes us on an unforgettable journey through the human brain. Discover how to forge memories that never disappear, how to grow an alien limb and how to make better decisions. Learn how to hallucinate and how to make yourself happier in a split second. Find out how to avoid getting lost, how to see more of your reality, even how exactly you can confirm you are alive. Think the unthinkable.

Excellent quality and value
This is my 4th Maelreg 1/4 zip shirt. I've lost a lot of weight and looking for clothing that fits well and doesn't feel like a shirt from China. I found that the quality and fit are excellent. The fabric is soft, well made and slightly heavier than other 1/4 zips I've purchased on Amazon. The weight of fabric gives a quality feel. The styles of Maelreg pullovers are great. I get a lot of compliments on these shirts.

MAELREG Clothing Looks Great!
Love this quarter zip. MAELREG makes some comfortable, sharp looking clothing. Their golf apparel is fantastic. The value is worth it. Their shirts are true to size. I am 6', 215lbs and wear an XL, which fits nicely.

Great for Tall Guys
I got this for my husband, he has a pullover that he has worn for years and it needed replacing. Finding one like this that was lightweight and loose fit was a big challenge. He loves the quality and fabric and its not hot but still helps when their is a breeze or chill. I liked that the color and pattern are versatile for all seasons. He is 6'5 and it actually fits his torso! Just get it!
