Story
Oliver Sacks' The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat tells the stories of individuals afflicted with fantastic perceptual and intellectual aberrations: patients who have lost their memories and with them the greater part of their pasts; who are no longer able to recognize people and common objects; who are stricken with violent tics and grimaces or who shout involuntary obscenities; whose limbs have become alien; who have been dismissed as retarded yet are gifted with uncanny artistic or mathematical talents.

Story
Music can move us to the heights or depths of emotion. It can persuade us to buy something, or remind us of our first date. It can lift us out of depression when nothing else can. It can get us dancing to its beat. But the power of music goes much, much further. Indeed, music occupies more areas of our brain than language does - humans are a musical species.

There are a lot of personality disorders, so many, sometimes, that we lose track. Personally, I know someone with schizophrenia, several people who have narcissist traits, autism, and ADHD that run in my own family, and even a few people diagnosed with borderline disorder. Disorders are a part of society, whether you like it or not. We may feel, at times, that those disorders cause people to act "strange" or "rude" or "manipulative". And this may be true, but if we understand the disorders, we can more easily guess where it came from and handle them more appropriately, too.

Publisher's summary
In this 30th-anniversary edition of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Oliver Sacks, MD, brings together more than two dozen narratives of patients with many different neurological impairments. The narratives illuminate medical details of the diseases while illustrating how those diseases play out in a patient's thoughts and actions, bringing a more human aspect to the ailments.
These neurological impairments take on many forms. Losses can be highly disruptive to a patient's life, such as Jimmie G.'s severe memory loss. However, many patients find ways to adapt to their ailments and recoup those losses in other ways, such as Mr. P., a music teacher who lost his ability to distinguish faces and objects, even mistaking his wife for his hat, who learned to sing to himself to keep from becoming disoriented; and MacGregor, who installed a level on his glasses to enable him to stand upright to correct a persistent lean....

Garbage. Junk. Why does Audible sell this ??
Would you try another book from Instaread and/or Michael Gilboe?
This is a scam. Its not a review, its nothing.. just a rambling incoherent collection of summarizations of the book - all written by someone who lacks even a basic understanding of Oliver Sacks or Neurology. Its like a 3rd grade level Clif-Notes. Its garbage.
