Embracing The Wide Sky by Daniel Tammet
A Tour Across the Horizons of the Mind
A blend of memoir and popular science that follows a man with extraordinary numerical and linguistic abilities as he recounts his childhood, describes how his mind perceives numbers, words and colors, and explains the neuroscience and psychology behind those experiences; along the way he reflects on learning languages, the diversity of human cognition, and the social challenges and insights of being neurologically different, offering both personal anecdotes and accessible explanations to argue for greater empathy and curiosity about how other minds work.
