    I ordered both of her books, Female and Male Brain.

    Looking forward to getting them.

    Personally I'm cautious about psychology-books in general. Much, if not all, is not real science. At best, it is a bunch of anecdotal evidence. It's predicting power mainly comes from self-fulfilling prophecies.
    There's nothing wrong with putting labels on processes one does (can?) not understand on a fundamental level. But it should be falsifiable to some extent.

    My booktip: What technology wants by Kevin Kelly.
    Also available on audible

    Not really about brains but a good meta-story about technology.
