THE MIND ELECTRIC A Neurologist on the Strangeness and Wonder of Our Brains

by | Read by Pria Anand

Contemporary Culture • 9 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2025

Author Pria Anand narrates her thought-provoking examination of the wonders and vulnerabilities of the human brain. In the process she blends memoir, history, folklore, and medical facts. Anand lacks the vocal resonance and nuances of a voice-over professional, but she speaks clearly and with conviction. Her narration is both accessible and relatable. Listeners will learn a great deal about the brain, as well as myths, prejudices, and cultural traditions that have affected the treatment of neurological diseases. While this audiobook is only an overview of the topic and lacks cohesion, it's informative, lyrical, and engrossing. D.L.G. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2025]
