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 & 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 & then in New York, where he discovered a long-forgotten illness in the back wards of a chronic hospital, as well as with a group of patients who would define his life, it becomes clear that Sackss earnest desire for engagement has occasioned unexpected encounters & travels
- sending him through bars & alleys, over oceans, & across continents.

With unbridled honesty & humour, Sacks shows us that the same energy that drives his physical passions
- bodybuilding, weightlifting, & swimming
- also drives his cerebral passions. He writes about his love affairs, both romantic & intellectual, his guilt over leaving his family to come to America, his bond with his schizophrenic brother, & the writers & scientists
- Thom Gunn, A. R. Luria, W. H. Auden, Gerald M. Edelman, Francis Crick
- who influenced him.

On the Move is the story of a brilliantly unconventional physician & writer
- & of the man who has illuminated the many ways that the brain makes us human.
