Were you Napoleon in a past life? Is your coffee conscious?And do you really have free will - or are you just a pre-programmed brain in a jar?In this witty and mind-bending book, philosopher Gareth Southwell uncovers the weird world of philosophy woven into the fabric of everyday life.

What's the best way to study (according to neuroscience)? Can you trust your gut instincts? What is love - and is it all in your head?In this eye-opening exploration of the body's hidden intelligence, expert science writer Ken Okona-Mensah reveals how your everyday choices, emotions, and behaviours are shaped - often without your awareness - by complex biological systems. From the microbes in your gut, to the rhythms of your heart, Why Do I Get Butterflies In My Stomach? uncovers the unconscious biology driving everything from trust and attraction to disease, stress, and decision-making. Packed with strange-but-true facts, evolutionary oddities, and plenty of 'ohhh, so that's why' moments, this book reveals that biology isn't just something you learned in school - it's the hidden force behind why the countryside heals, who you love, the friends you choose, and so much more.
