Award-winning science writer Helen Thomson unlocks the biggest mysteries of the human brain by examining nine extraordinary cases

Our brains are far stranger than we think. We take it for granted that we can remember, feel emotion, navigate, empathise and understand the world around us, but how would our lives change if these abilities were dramatically enhanced - or disappeared overnight?

Helen Thomson has spent years travelling the world, tracking down incredibly rare brain disorders. In Unthinkable she tells the stories of nine extraordinary people she encountered along the way. From the man who thinks he's a tiger to the doctor who feels the pain of others just by looking at them to a woman who hears music that's not there, their experiences illustrate how the brain can shape our lives in unexpected and, in some cases, brilliant and alarming ways.

Story by remarkable story, Unthinkable takes us on an unforgettable journey through the human brain. Discover how to forge memories that never disappear, how to grow an alien limb and how to make better decisions. Learn how to hallucinate and how to make yourself happier in a split second. Find out how to avoid getting lost, how to see more of your reality, even how exactly you can confirm you are alive. Think the unthinkable.

Perfect for whitening!
This Puur Smile whitening kit is now a must have in my home ! I always wanted to have whiter teeth but going to a dentist is too expensive. I decided to buy this kit to try it out and I am very happy with my results ! The kit is very easy to use and you have a manual. I love that the Puur Smile led device has 2 modes , for sensitive and extra sensitive teeth . It does not irritate my teeth and gums . You don't have to hold it on for long , 10-15 minutes per session is enough. After using it I noticed significant improvement of my teeth color , it is whiter and I am looking forward to making it even better with future sessions.

Very good
I really liked this teeth whitening kit. It comes very complete with an LED light, whitening gel pens, and a shade guide to track your progress. The instructions are easy to follow, and the design is practical and comfortable to use. After several uses, I noticed my teeth looked a bit brighter and cleaner. I also like that the device is rechargeable, which makes it convenient and easy to use anywhere. Overall, it’s a great option for at-home teeth whitening.

Must have!
I am honestly blown away by the Puur Smile Teeth Whitening Kit — it’s become a must-have in my self-care routine! From the moment I started using it, I noticed a visible difference in the brightness of my teeth. Even stubborn stains from coffee and wine have faded noticeably after just a few sessions. The kit is super easy to use, and the instructions are clear and straightforward — no fuss, no mess. I love that it doesn’t cause sensitivity like other whitening products I’ve tried in the past. The LED light feels gentle, and the gel goes on smoothly without irritation. My smile looks brighter, cleaner, and more confident — and I’ve already gotten compliments from friends and coworkers! The results feel professional quality but at a fraction of the cost. If you’re looking for a reliable, effective, and gentle whitening system, this kit is a total winner. Highly recommend! 😁✨
