Known for his record-breaking year in space, Astronaut Scott Kelly tells all in his memoir ENDURANCE about his experience in space, his lifetime of discovery, and what that means for the future. Kelly’s perseverance and determination turned an aimless and rambunctious boy from New Jersey into one of the few individuals to explore space. Filled with information about space, Endurance is overall an inspiring book.

Eagleman and Brandt explore the human brain and its unique ability that sets us apart from other animals: CREATIVITY. As humans, we strive to be the best/perfect at a particular task or function.
