One of the Best Books of the Year: NPR, San Francisco Chronicle, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, BookPage, Slate, Men's Journal

"Intimate. . . . Brim[s] with life and affection." --The New York Times

"[A] wonderful memoir, which richly demonstrates what an extraordinary life it has been. . . . A fascinating account--a sort of extended case study, really--of Sacks' remarkably active, iconoclastic adulthood." --Los Angeles Times

"A glorious memoir. . . . In this volume Sacks opens himself to recognition, much as he has opened the lives of others to being recognized in their fullness." --The Atlantic

"Pulses with his distinctive energy and curiosity." --The New York Review of Books

"A beautiful vision, one that embraces an infinite spectrum of wonder. . . . On the Move illustrates what an exceptional human being he is. . . . He is fascinated by seemingly everything, and, damn, the man can write." --Salon

"Marvelous. . . . He studies himself as he has studied others: compassionately, unblinkingly, intelligently, acceptingly and honestly." --The Wall Street Journal

"Sacks' ability to enact and celebrate intuition in medicine and precision in art is singular." --The New York Times Book Review

"[Sacks is] a wonderful storyteller. . . . It's his keen attentiveness as a listener and observer, and his insatiable curiosity, that makes his work so powerful." --San Francisco Chronicle

"Remarkably candid and deeply affecting. . . . Sacks's empathy and intellectual curiosity, his delight in, as he calls it, 'joining particulars with generalities' and, especially, 'narratives with neuroscience'--have never been more evident than in his beautifully conceived new book." --The Boston Globe

"Intriguing. . . . When describing his patients and their problems, he is attentive and precise, straightforward and sympathetic, and he brings these worthy qualities to his descriptions of his younger self." --The Washington Post

"A compelling read. . . . Offers a glimpse into one of the greatest minds of our time." --Men's Journal

"What a self this book reveals! A man animated by boundless curiosity, wide-ranging intelligence, gratitude for flawed humanity, perseverance despite setbacks. . . . We're lucky to have all the books, including On the Move. It's intensely, beautifully, incandescently alive." --Newsday

"An ebullient telling of a remarkable life." --Paste

"This remarkable man lifts us all. . . . [On the Move] is not only a record of his life-affirming characterological extravagance but also a meditation on what it is to be human in an age of medical arrogance and the numbing clout of technology." --The Los Angeles Review of Books

"An unforgettably passionate, joyous journey." --The Daily Beast

"[A] beautifully constructed and moving memoir. . . . His life and work are a gift." --The Times Literary Supplement (London)

"Moving. . . . Written with exceptional grace and clarity." --Richmond Times-Dispatch
