Book Title: The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat: And Other Clinical Tales
Author: Oliver Sacks
Selection Statement:
Sacks's case studies show the importance of considering the biological side to psychology while validating and emphasizing the importance of the human experience. I read this book when I was in school. I still ask my students to read it and tie it to contemporary research regarding Sacks's themes. The book is not only valuable for the science it conveys, but it reminds me how important it is to never stop learning.
