The NY Times Magazine

your comments, albeit edited, were succinct and sound. made me curious to find out what else your deciding about.

I have great curiosity about your books, which I haven't yet read. However, now I know what I want for X-mas. Yes, Mr. Lehrer, your interview helped me make a decision!

May I also say that you are so fetching a young man. Beauty and brains. Imagine that.

Respectfully submitted.

I saw "Proust was a Neuroscientist" when I was writing a paper at Barnes and Noble last week and I wanted to read it right then and there (but I couldn't thanks to finals...). I was actually directed to your blog from the NY Times Magazine interview. Now both your books are on my Amazon wishlist :)

I was excited to see your interview in the NYTimes Magazine! Congrats on that :) I hope your mom sees it!!

"Proust Was A Neuroscientist," stands out as the best gift book that I've come across for friends who enjoy either science or art. This book will stand the test of time and my copy is well used and filled with notes. "How We Decide," looks to be excellent and the subject relates directly to my daily decision making as an airline captain. Jonah's superb style of writing makes his book literature as well as scientific learning.
Virginia Woolf, in her essay, "Henry James," said what applies to Jonah's writing as well: "All great writers have of course, an atmosphere in which they seem most at their ease and at their best; a mood of the great general mind which they interpret and indeed almost discover so that we come to read them rather for that than for any story or character or scene of separate excellence."

It's a nice interview, but the photo is indeed a bit strange. I find your blog photo more flattering.

Looking forward to your new book, as I was quite impressed with your previous one. Speaking of choices: I notice a band on your ring finger in that photo. Good grief, you're married already, too?

Nice work, good tit-for-tat. Would have like to see it in it's actuality of time and space. Solidified prefrontal cortex possibly; but optimized, I think not...I would go even further with your hammer analogy: when the only tool you have is a hammer all you see is nails; and for me all neuro-functioning is predicated on perception.

I totally sympathize with out on the indecision of food. Every night when it comes to be dinner time I spend way too long thinking about what I want. Write me a book on how to tap into my unconscious desires!!!

Loved the interview, which turned me on to your books. I've ordered the Proust book -- and told amazon to get it on Kindle and will look for an email to purchase your new book in February.

Fascinating. Thanks for contributing them!

BTW, always go with the Honey Nut Cheerios.
