Everybody knows the power of deadlines - and we all hate them. But their effectiveness is undeniable.
David Eagleman

David Eagleman

David Eagleman
You are more likely to believe that a statement is true if you have heard it before - whether or not it is actually true.
David Eagleman
The main thing known about secrets is that keeping them is unhealthy for the brain.
David Eagleman
I'm using the afterlife as a backdrop against which to explore the joys and complexities of being human - it turns out that it's a great lens with which to understand what matters to us.
David Eagleman
Societies would _not_ be better off if everyone were like Mr Spock, all rationality and no emotion. Instead, a balance - a teaming up of the internal rivals - is optimal for brains. ... Some balance of the emotional and rational systems is needed, and that balance may already be optimized by natural selection in human brains.
David Eagleman
There is a looming chasm between what your brain knows and what your mind is capable of accessing.
David Eagleman
Death... The moment, sometime in the future, when your name is spoken for the last time.
David Eagleman
