Other bestselling works of neurobiology and the mind have focused on mental illness and abnormal behaviors--like the Oliver Sacks classic, \u003cem\u003eThe Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat\u003c\/em\u003e--but \u003cem\u003eThe Other Side of Normal\u003c\/em\u003e is an eye-opening, thought-provoking, utterly fascinating and totally accessible exploration of the universals of human experience.

Smoller argues there are no bright lines between normal and abnormal and explains where our personalities come from, and how our temperaments as infants actually stay with us into adulthood. Along the way, he tackles an even greater question--what do we mean by normal?--as he explores puzzles as wide ranging as the epidemic of multiple personalities and the shocking phobia of shrinking penises.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on Smoller's groundbreaking research and own experience treating psychological disorders, \u003cem\u003eThe Other Side of Normal\u003c\/em\u003e changes the way we think about the human condition.\u003c\/p\u003e--\u003cem\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/em\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePsychiatry has ignored the normal.
