After reading the first chapter of this book I found quite a bit to be interesting. I like how he introducing the book by explaining the functions of each side of the brain. He explains what jobs and interests left brain people and right brain people do. I really enjoyed how he explain the contra lateral movement of body function. For example how the left brain controls the right side actions of the body and vis versa. Pink used real life examples to show this as he asked the reader to do different actions. This allows for the reader to get interested in the book very quickly. The most interesting part I found was the part about the brain and language. Of course that would interest me though, I am a speech major. We haven't taken neurology yet in our major so really it was an insight for me into what that may be like. I never knew that the left hemisphere specializes in text and the right hemisphere specializes in context.
This book holds my attention completely so far. I think out of all the books we have read this one will be the most appealing to me. I am also left handed so who knows how my brain works. I have never been checked to see what side of my brain is used for language. I have always been interested to find out and this book makes me want to find out even more.
