核心要点
You Are Your Brain-And Your Brain Is Not What You Think
A man climbs a tower with a rifle and kills sixteen people. Before doing so, he writes a suicide note requesting an autopsy, convinced something is wrong with his mind. The doctors find it: a nickel-sized tumor pressing against his amygdala, the brain's aggression center. Charles Whitman's 1966 tragedy poses an unsettling question-if a small piece of tissue can transform a person into a killer, where does "you" end and biology begin? The answer is both simple and profound: you are your brain. Every thought, emotion, and decision emerges from three pounds of tissue containing roughly 86 billion neurons, each forming thousands of connections. Change the brain, and you change the person. Understanding this organ means understanding ourselves in ways that are simultaneously humbling and empowering. This isn't abstract philosophy-it's the foundation for comprehending everything from why teenagers take reckless risks to why we fall in love, make moral judgments, and construct the reality we experience moment by moment.
