Description
A brilliant book by Nobel Prize winner Eric R. Kandel, The Age of Insight takes us to Vienna 1900, where leaders in science, medicine, and art began a revolution that changed forever how we think about the human mind - our conscious and unconscious thoughts and emotions - and how mind and brain relate to art.
At the turn of the century, Vienna was the cultural capital of Europe. Artists and scientists met in glittering salons, where they freely exchanged ideas that led to revolutionary breakthroughs in psychology, brain science, literature, and art. Kandel takes us into the world of Vienna to trace, in rich and rewarding detail, the ideas and advances made then, and their enduring influence today.

Misleading title...
First part of the book deals with "Age of Insight" Vienna 1900. Discusses expressionist artists and Freud and their attempts to understand the role of the "unconscious" in art and society. After that it becomes a textbook on recent studies in brain science. It is detailed and scientific in focus and hardly the stuff I want to listen to while walking in the woods.

An incredible journey from imperial Vienna to modern brain science
I was predisposed to liking this book given my love for Vienna and its history. But I was wowed by the scope of this intellectual tour de force. From Klimt and Schiele to Freud to discussions of the workings of the hippocampus, this is not an easy beach read. I often had to go to the Internet to look for maps of the brain. But it was well worth it. This kind of book stays with you and forever changes your perceptions of reality.

masterwork
This is one of the greatest collections of works cited I've ever come across. Beautifully and comprehensively presented, this is a gold mine of brain science and classic art. I will return to this often.

fantastic insight
I didn't realize what I was getting myself into when I downloaded this book it wasn't what I was expected but was so much more instead. I wish there was more reading material that would expand on the ideas presented and some of the chapters. I'll have to give this one a few more lessons before I'm ready to put it down.

Worth the listen
A well written and fascinating read that bridges art, psychology, and biology. My only qualm is that the only women mentioned are models, case studies, and fictional characters... and maybe one scientist. Have there really been no women from 1900 to 2012 who made contributions to this conversation through their own art and study?

Great book. A bit hard to digest.
I bought this book before a trip to Vienna some things about the art history of the city. I ended up listening to a book with so much scientific information apart from the art history information that it blew my mind.
