A thrilling journey through health and disease - seen through the secret lives of our cells and organs.-Tim SpectorThe international bestselling author of Gut returns with a spellbinding journey through the human bodyFor thousands of years, our bodies have faced challenges and found their own unique ways to overcome them. This book asks: what can we learn from these intricate systems? In Organ Speak, Giulia Enders guides us through our inner landscape, revealing how our body is our best teacher. What, for example, can the immune system teach us about our need to feel safe? How does the process of wound-healing mirror emotional recovery? Why do our brain's reward pathways favour unpredictability? What do we truly need to thrive? Blending recent scientific discoveries with her gift for making complex ideas accessible, Giulia Enders inspires a deep appreciation for something that is both intimately familiar yet profoundly mysterious. The journey opens with a sense of wonder, and by the end we gain a renewed understanding of ourselves.
