Meet Your Hidden Intelligence! - How Your Gut, Heart, Immune System, and Brain Create the Person You Experience as “You” #1003249

For anyone who has ever felt something in their body before their mind caught up — and wanted to know, finally, what was actually talking.
Meet Your Hidden Intelligence! is the third volume in the Think You Know Yourself? series — a physician and psychiatrist's clear-eyed tour of the intelligence hiding in your gut, heart, and immune system, and its constant, largely unheard argument with your brain.
For over a century, medicine treated the brain as the only organ in the body with anything worth saying. This book is the case for the defense of everyone else: the enteric nervous system lining your gut, the forty thousand neurons inside your own heart, the vagus nerve that spends most of its time listening rather than instructing, and an immune system fluent enough in mood to produce sadness out of nothing but inflammation.
