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
Our puppy is teething, and these are so helpful during this time for her! The only issue are the fabric strips come off, and we have to throw them away so she dont try to eat them!!

Not safe
The toys with fabric aren’t puppy proof. My puppy has been biting chunks off.

These toys are as durable as jello!
Color: Pink1, Color: Pink1
This is probably the worst product I've bought for my dog. These toys have the durability of a cup of jello, my small dog seen in the photo destroyed it in one night. Small dog, big dog or puppy, buy them high strength durable toys, my dog was smart enough to not swallow any small pieces she bit off but I cant say other dogs won't swallow the small pieces. I don't recommend this product for any dogs what so ever!

Fave dog toy!
Color: Betty Bigfoot
Great toy! My dog prefers the ball inside which is great for chewing on, bouncing, and playing fetch. Very thick rubber, lasts a good while. The outside cover is pretty tough, but for those who like a challenge it should last a little while. It really depends on how determined and fierce the dog is about chewing! We’ve had 3 of them. We always keep a back up for when one expires!!
