When Oliver Sacks was twelve years old, a perceptive schoolmaster wrote in his report: “Sacks will go far, if he does not go too far.” It is now abundantly clear that Sacks has never stopped going. From its opening pages on his youthful obsession with motorcycles and speed, On the Move is infused with his restless energy. As he recounts his experiences as a young neurologist in the early 1960s, first in California, where he struggled with drug addiction and then in New York, where he discovered a long forgotten illness in the back wards of a chronic hospital, we see how his engagement with patients comes to define his life.
With unbridled honesty and humor, Sacks shows us that the same energy that drives his physical passions — weightlifting and swimming—also drives his cerebral passions. He writes about his love affairs, both romantic and intellectual; his guilt over leaving his family to come to America; his bond with his schizophrenic brother; and the writers and scientists—Thom Gunn, A.R. Luria, W.H. Auden, Francis Crick — who influenced him. On the Move is the story of a brilliantly unconventional physician and writer — and of the man who illuminated the many ways that the brain makes us human.
Oliver Sacks, M.D. is a physician, a best-selling author, and a professor of neurology at the NYU School of Medicine. The New York Times has referred to him as “the poet laureate of medicine.”
He is best known for his collections of neurological case histories, including The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat, Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain and An Anthropologist on Mars. Awakenings, his book about a group of patients who had survived the great encephalitis lethargica epidemic of the early twentieth century, inspired the 1990 Academy Award-nominated feature film starring Robert De Niro and Robin Williams.
Dr. Sacks is a frequent contributor to the New Yorker and the New York Review of Books.
I had mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, I really enjoyed some of fascinating stories in Dr. Sacks's early life. On the other hand, I was lost in the backstories of his other books (It could be that I didn't read any of them). Nonetheless, Dr. Sacks led an incredible life.
评分We share tons of qualities in common,so maybe that is why I am addicted to Oliver Sacks and his fancinating works.
评分坦率讲自己骑摩托车旅行,将自己求学,讲作为同性恋对性和爱的试探,吸毒经历,自己行医经历工作的热爱,坦诚真挚,a memoir of glorious, unflinching honesty
评分读到一半了,不知能否会继续。对大脑神经科学一无所知,也没看过作者以前的作品。医学专业生词太多,读的有点费劲。感觉因为作者不是专业的作家,文笔一般。流水账一般的记录自己的成长经历,很多东西一笔带过,也没有深度剖析自己行为的原因。可能成长的环境太不一样,很难产生真正的共鸣。如果是搞医学的读起来也许会不一样?唯一引起我兴趣的是描述骑宝马摩托旅行的经历。

看完这本书后,才感叹人生原来也可以这样过!一个人的人生没有所谓正确,也没有所谓成功,只要你自己觉得有意义,你的人生就是有意义的!即使他是同性恋,即使他吸过毒,丝毫不妨碍他成为一名杰出的神经学家,依然不能掩盖他对神经学科做出的巨大贡献,依然黯淡不了他所显现的...
评分 评分书评: 奥利弗萨克斯是杰出的神经病学家, 他的第二个身份是闻名全球的畅销书作家。 书中讲述了他的成长经历和日常生活。 包括他喜欢骑摩托车的冒险行为,包括他同性恋的性取向。 也包括他对于左旋多巴这种药品的实验过程。 不过,这本书没有读出什么特别来, 感觉比较平淡。
