Are you a human? Do you have a mind? Then this book is for you.
Nothing is more familiar and yet less
understood than the human mind. It defines the experience of being
human, and yet its workings contain some of the deepest mysteries
ever encountered. Written by one of the world's greatest teachers
of psychology, The Human Mind provides a masterful and riveting
guide to all that we have learned since modern science began
probing those mysteries.
How does a three-pound lump of grey-ish
meat give rise to conscious experience? What is the function of
emotions such as disgust, gratitude and shame? How do our biases
affect us and how can we overcome them? How does the mind of a
child differ from that of an adult? How does memory work? What
causes mental illness? Are we rational? Are we all a little bit
racist? What makes us kind? What makes us cruel? What makes us
happy?
Many of these questions now have answers; many others don't
yet; many widely accepted theories are probably wrong. This book
takes us to the very limits of what is known. It shines new light
on all that you take most for granted: everything you think and
feel, everything you say and do, everything that makes you you.
