Our balance is a magical work of different organs and aspects at play. In The Great Balancing Act, Sharon explains how our balancing act works, what systems it depends on in an accessible and engaging way.
The interdisciplinary quality of the book was amazing.
The highlight for me was learning about how and why our vestibular system matters for our thinking.

I have a vestibular problem so thought this book would be useful. Firstly, it’s an American publication so medical issues are treated differently. Secondly, it’s a book about the evolution and development of the idea of balance issues. It is highly readable, like having a conversation with the author. Lots of side comments and stray thoughts which are not as distracting as you might think. I don’t think I learnt anything new about my condition ( bilateral vestibular Hypofunction) but I have researched the condition extensively already. The book may interest those with a new diagnosis of balance issues or those caring for them.
