Synopsis
"Leading psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen confirms what most of us had suspected all that male and female brains are different. This groundbreaking and controversial book reveals the scientific evidence (present even in one-day-old babies) which proves that female-type brains are better at empathizing and communicating, while male brains are stronger at understanding and building systems - not just computers and machinery, but abstract systems such as politics and music." Filled with surprising and illuminating case studies, many from Baron-Cohen's own clinical practice, The Essential Difference moves beyond the stereotypes to elucidate over twenty years of pioneering research. From gossip to aggression, Baron-Cohen dissects each brain type and even presents a revolutionary new theory that autism (and its close relative, Asperger's syndrome) is actually an example of the extreme male brain. His theory can explain why those who live with this condition are brilliant at analyzing the most complex systems, yet cannot relate to the emotional lives of those closest to them.
