Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Sight and Sensibility

64/100
👎 Skip It
Written by a scientist with real credentials in the neurophysiology of vision, this book makes a thoughtful case for how our habits of seeing shape our disconnect from nature. The ideas sound substantive and well-grounded, but I couldn't find independent reviews to confirm how the actual writing delivers on that promise.
