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.

Inconsistent product
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: 7 inch (Pack of 1)
Not suitable. Technically suitable and excellent weight; I love Spot! Bambones; but this time, all it did was fall apart as soon as my dog started chewing. I had to take it away immediately

Great for Chewers!
Flavor Name: Chicken, Size: 7 inch (Pack of 1)
Purchased for my German Shepherd Pup a few months back and it’s still going strong! It is by far his favorite chew toy. It clearly lasts a long time. It’s a nice size with some weight to it. Good for them chewers!

Not for aggressive chewers
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: 5.25 inch (Pack of 1)
This bone is noticeably softer than most chew toys I've bought. That may be a positive for some dogs, but my dog was able to break off fairly large pieces, which made me nervous. It might work well for light chewers, but I wouldn't recommend it for aggressive chewers.

Bacon? IDK but good stuff either way
Color: C) 4" 2-Pack (Bacon)
What is there to say? they're giant 4" rubber balls from the Chew King brand which is very durable brand. The best part is they don't roll under couches, side boards, etc cause they're just big enough.

Durable, bright and bouncy
Color: H) 2.5" 3-Pack (Beef)
Love these. Color is bright so I can find it in grass and dirt. Quality is good! Works well in a Chuck it. Love these holes for whistle sound as it’s in the air. No scent cost is awesome for all 3 in pack
