Dean Burnett is a professor at Cardiff University in the U.K. and a researcher at the Institute of Psychiatry and Clinical Neurology at the university. He is an incredibly smart neuroscientist who studies the brain and gives lectures.

He claims, "The brain is a mess" but in fact, no one loves it that much. This book contains some strange phenomena about the brain that can make us curious.

We've experienced an incredibly complex and confusing process of controlling our brain's appetite. I'm not hungry after a full meal, but this is not the case when it comes time for dessert. The organ that controls the amount of food and appetite is the brain. It's the role of the brain, not the stomach or the intestines.

Most people say “I'm full” after eating enough. This is because the first place the food reaches is the stomach. When the stomach is filled with food, the stomach signals the brain to suppress appetite and stop eating.

So why do we always have a separate stomach for dessert? I'm sure my stomach is full, so how can I eat more physically? That's because the brain wants it. The brain ignores the signals. It's not yet known exactly why this happens.

That's not all the brain does. When there is a learned connection with eating, it exerts a powerful force. What if you had a stomachache one day while eating your favorite strawberry cake? You will feel nauseous just by looking at the strawberry cake later.

The book is taking examples that are easily accessible in everyday life and explaining the stories that happen in the brain. What we thought might not actually be true. We could be fooled by the brain. Listen to the brain story.
