The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales – Oliver Sacks

In his most extraordinary book, Oliver Sacks recounts the case histories of patients lost in the bizarre, apparently inescapable world of neurological disorders. Sacks discuss several fascinating and bizarre instances seen while working as a neurologist. It's a fascinating and easy-to-read book that will make you realize how much may go wrong in our minds.

The book takes its title from one of these cases: the man who mistook his wife for a hat suffered from visual agnosia. This is a condition in which people are unable to comprehend visual information and, as a result, are unable to recognize objects or faces. From this to a case with a patient who couldn't recognize his leg, Sacks deals with the most unusual situations.
