Wired for Wonder: Why the Senses Matter
Lidya Kedir
Description
What if the world you trust is just a clever trick of the senses? InBeyond the Obvious: The Secret Life of the Senses, JD Arden takes you on a sharp, witty journey through sight, sound, taste, smell, touch—and the “sixth sense” that haunts the edges of reason. This isn’t a textbook; it’s an investigation into the strange, fragile ways we build reality from fragments of sensation.From the dominance of vision to the nostalgia of a forgotten scent, from gut feelings to hallucinations, Arden explores what our senses reveal, what they hide, and how they shape the stories we tell about ourselves. Perfect for anyone who’s ever wondered what they’re missing—or what might be hiding in plain sight.Read more
