Overview
This five-book paperback collection unites compelling voices in brain science and medical memoir, pairing rigorous research with personal storytelling. Readers move from Jill Bolte Taylor's stroke recovery to Jeremy Howick's evidence-based look at self-healing, into Max Pemberton's junior doctor diaries, and finally to Dean Burnett's science of happiness. Together, these titles demystify how the brain works, heals, and thrives, offering curious readers, students, and gift recipients an accessible introduction to neuroscience and wellbeing.

About the Books
Across these five paperbacks, readers get a rounded view of what a healthy brain involves. Jill Bolte Taylor's My Stroke of Insight recounts her own stroke as a Harvard-trained neuroanatomist, blending science with a hopeful account of recovery and neuroplasticity. Jeremy Howick's Doctor You examines the body's capacity for self-healing, walking readers through evidence behind placebo effects and lifestyle medicine. Max Pemberton contributes two witty memoirs, Trust Me, I'm a (Junior) Doctor and its follow-up Where Does It Hurt?, revealing early hospital training and later frontline work with vulnerable patients. Rounding out the set, Dean Burnett's The Happy Brain applies neuroscience to what genuinely makes us happy. Together, the collection moves between memoir, popular science, and medical reportage, giving readers a full picture of the brain in crisis, recovery, training, and everyday life.
