Why people recommend it
The Man Who Tasted Words by Guy Leschziner is a fascinating and startling exploration of neurology that delves into the strange world of human senses and neurological disorders. On the podcast The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett, host Steven Bartlett recommended the book during the episode titled The Extreme Sleep Scientist: The Painful Trick To Fix Insomnia And Poor Sleep!, which was released on July 1, 2024. Bartlett brought up the book in the outro of the show, letting listeners know that he would link it in the video description alongside other titles such as Seven Deadly Sins and The Secret World of Sleep. Furthermore, Bartlett displayed the physical copy of the book in front of him during the conversation, noting that the text itself describes it as a fascinating, important, and disturbing read. He used the book to illustrate how human perception and the brain operate, weaving it into a broader discussion on the complexities of human biology and sensory perception with his guest.
