We are used to thinking that a person has five senses: hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch. However, modern science claims that in reality we have at least 32 of them. Senses not only inform us about the surrounding world and our internal state, they literally shape us. Based on the latest research, science journalist Emma Young reveals unexpected aspects of senses common to all of us, and tells about the incredible sensory abilities of some people - from record-breaking freedivers to voodoo priests and shamans. Among such unique individuals are a nurse who can diagnose Parkinson's disease by smell, a blind ballerina performing on stage, and people who, like bats, navigate in space using echolocation.
We take our senses for granted, but what possibilities can open up to us if we better understand their nature? The author not only explains familiar and unfamiliar phenomena related to the senses, but also suggests how they can be trained and improved. Can these new knowledge and exercises make us happier, healthier, more successful? One thing is certain: the book allows us to look at ourselves and the world in a new way.
