My book ‘Practicing the Plastic Brain: popular neuroscience and the good life’ now available online

The Book is online!

My dissertation, titled Practicing the Plastic Brain: popular neuroscience and the good life, is finally available online. For free!

Soon after I received my PhD at Maastricht University in 2018, I signed a book contract with Rowman & Littlefield to turn my dissertation into a monograph. Today, I decided to cancel it.

It was not an easy decision. I always wanted to write a (proper) book, and the material and argument are still very relevant today (even in post-corona times) and deserve to be read. But in the past two years, I couldn’t find the time – next to two jobs and coparenting a toddler – to work on it substantially.

The good thing: it was already a book when I finished it! And it is now available here, to be downloaded for free. Click on the picture to download the PDF!
