Summary: It's not about the mind-body problem
Comment: The book might have a misleading title. I bought the book thinking that it is about the mind-body problem (where body refers to mainly brain). It is not. It describes mind and brain largely separately.

Otherwise, it is a decent book. Like many others in the "Introducing" series.

Watch out for the following amazing books is the same series:

Introducing Philosophy
Introducing Quantum Mechanics

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent introduction to brain science and consciousness
Comment: Pretty much everything you need to know about brain physiology, perception, and psychology of consciousness, presented in easy-to-read cartoon form!

As an emotional intelligence trainer, I found it a lot better than many other books from this rather patchy series. I recommend it to my students.

Rating: 4
Summary: A good introduction.
Comment: The book is short, illustrated and aimed at the general audience. It's not in-depth but does cover quite a bit of ground. It's no replacement for the various case studies by Oliver Sacks, Pinker' _How The Mind Works_ or even Dennett's _Consciousness Explained_, but it does have material worth reading. On the negative side, it's not quite as easy to follow as some other illustrated guides, but I'd still recommend it to anyone interested in neurology.
