This guide to relationships encourages individuals to examine their own thoughts and feelings about their relationship in order to find a way to travel alongside their partners through life. Based on the professional experience of two practicing psychologists, this book reveals that positive changes in relationships come about when individuals modify their beliefs and behaviors, rather than expecting their partners to change. Many strategies are provided to help people learn to identify and address common relationship difficulties, make informed decisions, think clearly about issues that upset them, and communicate in an effective way. This book prepares individuals who are about to enter a committed relationship; helps people in long-term relationships keep their expectations realistic; helps improve stale relationships; and enables people to make choices and move ahead once a relationship has deteriorated.

A fascinating exploration of the nature of consciousness This engaging and readable book provides an introduction to consciousness that does justice both to the science and to the philosophy of consciousness, that is, the mechanics of the mind and the experience of awareness. The book opens with a general discussion of the brain and of consciousness itself. Then, exploring the areas of brain science most likely to illuminate the basis of awareness, Zeman focuses on the science of sleep and waking and on the science of vision. He describes healthy states and disorders-epilepsy, narcolepsy, blindsight and hallucinations after stroke-that provide insights into the capacity for consciousness and into its contents. And he tracks the evolution of the brain, the human species, and human culture and surveys the main current scientific theories of awareness, pioneering attempts to explain how the brain gives rise to experience. Zeman concludes by examining philosophical arguments about the nature of consciousness. A practicing neurologist, he animates his text with examples from the behavioral and neurological disorders of his patients and from the expanding mental worlds of young children, including his own. His book is an accessible and enlightening explanation of why we are conscious.
