The Neuroscience of Bacon: How One Slice Can Teach Us About the Science of the Senses

Ever catch a whiff of bacon and land, suddenly, back in your grandmother’s kitchen?

The Neuroscience of Bacon is a small, funny, wonderfully human book about a very loud breakfast — and everything it brings back.

Part science, part love letter to bacon and every comfort food that ever meant home, it’s a playful tour through the ten “sensory doorways” that turn eating into remembering: why a smell arrives before a thought, why your brain starts breakfast before the fork does, and how a single familiar bite can spring a whole childhood loose.

You’ll meet the brain on bacon (versus the brain on broccoli), find out why local bacon really does taste different, learn what chewing has to do with contentment — and discover why, in the end, it was never really about the bacon at all.

Read it in one sitting. Then never eat on autopilot again. (Coffee, as ever, is recommended).

A gift-sized companion in the Awaken Your Body IQ® series — the same warm, embodied approach to living in your own senses, served here with breakfast.
