Strangers To Ourselves by Rachel Aviv
Unsettled Minds and the Stories That Make Us
"Strangers to Ourselves" is a collection of essays by Rachel Aviv that explores the complexities of the human mind and the ways in which our inner lives can be both mysterious and revealing. From a man who believes he is a tiger to a woman who has lost the ability to recognize faces, Aviv delves into the world of psychology and neuroscience to uncover the secrets of the human psyche. Through vivid storytelling and in-depth research, she sheds light on the many ways in which our brains can deceive us and the profound impact that mental illness can have on our lives.
