Book Description
When Oliver Sacks was twelve years old, a clever school principal wrote: "Sachs will go far, if he does not go far." It's now quite clear that Sacks never stopped. With honesty and an unbridled sense of humor, Sacks writes about the passions that have driven his life—from motorcycling and weightlifting to neuroscience and poetry. He writes about his romantic and intellectual love. Guilt for leaving his family to come to America; his relationship with his schizophrenic brother; Writers and Scholars - W. e. Auden, Gerald M. Edelman, Francis Crick—who influenced his work. On the Move tells the story of a brilliantly unconventional doctor and writer, a man who has shed light on the many ways the brain makes us human.
