Everything comes from how we think about the world and ourselves. The reason for this is simple: We don’t think big. The premise of this book is rather that few take decisive action to become successful. We all want to win the lottery – that is wishful thinking.

An adequate understanding of aphasia or agnosia would, he believed, require a new, more sophisticated science. He felt this, especially, in regard to certain disorders of recognition and perception, for which he coined the term ‘agnosia’. Towards the end of the century it became evident to more acute observers – above all, Freud, in his book on Aphasia (1891) – that this sort of mapping was too simplistic, that all mental performances had an intricate internal structure, and must have an equally complex physiological basis. This opened the way to a cerebral neurology, which made it possible, over the decades, to ‘map’ the human brain, ascribing specific powers to equally specific ‘centres’ in the brain.
