Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain by David Eagleman is an engaging exploration of neuroscience that reveals the vast machinery of the human mind operating beneath the level of conscious awareness. On The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast in February 2025 during an episode featuring guest David Eagleman, host Jordan Peterson mentioned that he had been reading the book and noted that Eagleman dedicated a substantial portion of the text to examining the complexities of human perception and how the brain constructs reality. Additionally, on the Lex Fridman Podcast in August 2020 during episode #119 titled Neuroplasticity and the Livewired Brain, author David Eagleman himself referenced his own work, specifically noting a specific story or conceptual idea that he placed at the very end of his book Incognito to encapsulate his thoughts on the mysterious nature of the unconscious mind. Across both podcasts, the book is portrayed as an illuminating bridge between complex neuroscience and everyday human experience, making the hidden workings of the brain accessible to curious readers everywhere.
