Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

I just finished Fearfully and Wonderfully Made: The Astonishing New Science of the Senses by Maureen Seaberg and here are my musings.

Did you know in 2016 that scientists proved that humans could see light at the level of a single photon? This book pulls back the layers of our natural senses to explain just how robust they truly are. This book gives you the ins and outs of what our 5 senses can truly do and the way we use them is just the tip of the iceberg!

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book so I went in a little blind. It was BRILLIANT! I have never read a book that has this beautiful way of offering up information in such a way that I felt like a kid at christmas! I had no idea our sense of smell could recognize trillions of different scents. It's all about our exposure to smells that helps us catalog them for future reference.

I made my husband read it after I was done because this book is right up his alley! It sent me down a rabbit hole of searching for more information based on what the author laid out.

If you read non-fiction or even if you don't, you should definitely add this one to your TBR and be blown away with facts you didn't know you were capable of.

4.5 stars thank you @stmartinspress for my gifted copy
