Mind: A Journey to the Heart of Being Human (Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology) (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

Neuroscience studies the brain. But what does science have to say about the mind? A full examination of what we mean by the term “mind” has traditionally been the province of philosophers, but what might neuroscience teach us about it? How does the mind differ from consciousness? And how do we know who we really are?


In this book, noted neuroscientist and New York Times best-selling author Daniel J. Siegel, MD, brings his characteristic sensitivity and interdisciplinary background to this most perplexing of topics. He explores the nature of the who, how, what, why, and when of your mind—of your self—from the perspective of neuroscience. Mind is the essence of our true nature, our deepest sense of being alive, here, right now, in this moment. How science explains it is truly one of the most exciting journeys into knowledge we can take.
