What happens to our body during the day – from the moment of waking up and morning coffee until falling asleep after a hard day?

What happens to our body during the day – from the moment of waking up and morning coffee until falling asleep after a hard day? How do our brains, sense organs, muscles, and stomach react to thousands of habitual activities and movements: driving a car, eating a delicious meal or taking medicine, having sex, choosing clothes, and meeting friends? American journalist and popularizer of science Jennifer Ackerman summarizes in her most curious book the results of more than one hundred studies from the field of medicine, neuroscience, psychology and genetics of the last decade. The resulting picture is able to amaze the imagination – our body appears to be such a well-coordinated and finely organized structure and it overcomes such serious loads, supporting our life.
