Another Day in the

Frontal Lobe

A Brain Surgeon Exposes Life on the Inside

“As the tofu comparison suggests, Dr. Firlik likes vivid examples, and she has a gift for translating medical issues into everyday terms…” —New York Times

“In her macabre and quirky memoir, Firlik devotes a whole chapter to noggin-busting tools, gushing over a prized cranial drill. Her snappy prose makes a brain doc’s daily grind an absolutely riveting read.” Wired Magazine

“Dr. Firlik relates wondrous truths of the neurosurgical profession with accuracy and insight.” Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)

“If, like me, you spend way too much of your life glued to TV shows such as House and Grey’s Anatomy, you’ll be riveted by Katrina Firlik‘s first book.” O Magazine

“This is a book of remarkable breadth, covering the state of the science and the art of the practice, the study of consciousness, personal stories… and the future of cognitive enhancement, transcranial magnetic stimulation and something called ‘a brainlift.’” —Los Angeles Times
