The best things said about it
He has a great biography called On the Move.
Andrew Huberman Lex Fridman Podcast · Apr 2022 In this book I felt as though there was a really deep humanity, as though he admitted to the ways in which he was damaged. I liked him a lot more after this book than I've liked him before.
It seems as though in these last couple of books, but especially in On the Move, he's decided to make his own vulnerability apparent.
He has a great biography called 'On the Move,' and there's a wonderful documentary that just came out about him—he died in 2015. I'm actually kind of a collector of his things.

On the Move by Oliver Sacks is a memoir by the renowned neurologist and writer that chronicles his eventful life, career, and intellectual development. Andrew Huberman recommended the book on the Huberman Lab podcast while discussing the culture of medicine and how scientific fields often suppress novel ideas, advising listeners to read it to understand the current arc of medicine and culture. Huberman also mentioned the biography during an appearance on the Lex Fridman Podcast, highlighting both the book and a documentary about Sacks, who passed away in 2015. Additionally, on The Book Review podcast, host Pamela Paul and guest Andrew Solomon discussed the memoir. Solomon praised the work for revealing Sacks's deep humanity and vulnerability, noting that he admitted to his flaws, which made him much more relatable and likable. Paul noted that the publication date for the memoir was moved up from the fall to the spring. Sacks's willingness to expose his own damages and make his personal vulnerabilities apparent stood out as a defining quality of these later writings, providing readers with a profoundly moving portrait of a brilliant and complex man navigating his personal and professional worlds.
