Projections: A Story of Human Emotions by Karl Deisseroth

informative reflective medium-paced

3.5

At times I could hardly put the book down (the empathetic parts), and at other times it felt like drudgery.  The reason is because he is not seamless in transitioning from neuroscience to stories of practicing medicine to philosophy, and even to poetry.  He tried to explain mental health conditions to which there is unclear science through evolution. It was inductive reasoning at best. However, he also gave some excellent science, and has a profound ability to empathize with this client. I would have rated this much lower had it not been for his demonstration of empathy.
