Oliver Sacks with his warm, down to earth story telling informs us of the strengths of several neurological disorders. He leads us through an intimate, day to day journey with seven of these very special people. His telling widens our own understanding of what it means to be human. We become humbled and enriched by this book. It is easy to read, hard to put down, soothing to the soul. Thanks, Oliver, for your open, curious mind and big heart.
