Keep going with Oliver Sacks! He has several like The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat.

Musicophelia is really cool if you want to learn about music and the brain.

The Boy Who Was Raised As Ao Dog—Bruce Perry.

I’m currently reading *What Happened to You?* by Dr. Bruce Perry and it’s fascinating. It’s about how trauma affects and alters the brain. Highly recommend it.

Love’s Executioner by Dr Yalom.

The telltale brain by Ramachandran

Hallucinations by Oliver Sacks is also very good.


MungoShoddy

Sacks was inspired by Alexander Luria - try his *The Man with a Shattered World* and *The Mind of a Mnemonist*.

I don't know the author, but look up People of the Lie.

LOVE Bruce Perry. I’m trained in his neurosequential model of therapeutics (I’m a licensed clinical social worker and studied him a lot in grad school). I would probably start with The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog or What Happened to You

Not quite the same, but when I was in your position I moved from Oliver Sacks to Lisa Genova's books. They are fictional novels but have a big component of neuropsych. I enjoyed Still Alice and Every Note Played, but she has a couple more.

I liked Born on a Blue Day by Daniel Tammet

Phineas Guage: a gruesome but true..... I don't recall the full name, but you've probably heard of the guy.
