Narrator Dan Woren brings listeners the musings of the insightful Oliver Sacks in a measured, masculine voice. He plays up the contemplative nature of these essays, which detail the late neurologist's personal reflections on growing up with mental health challenges and encountering professional dilemmas. For those who have followed Sacks’s other work, this feels like a warm chat between old friends. Woren enhances the sense of intimacy in the text, bringing listeners closer to a figure who lives on through his words. This is an easy-to-follow listening experience that fans of Sacks will enjoy.
