Libro Mind. Sinopsis libro, reseña libro. A scientist’s exploration into the mysteries of the human mind.
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 bestselling author Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., 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. Libro Mind.
Simon –
Lots of good and important ideas here, but the book is not well written. As others have written, a good editor could have helped out helping the author with organization, clarity, and economy.
Also, while the author spends a good deal of space linking his ideas to consciousness and quantum mechanics, there isn’t much real grounding with those fields. Siegel might have linked to some really important (and thriving) threads on consciousness regarding the hard problem of consciousness. He does (barely) touch on some work in quantum mechanics.
Still, his ideas on consciousness being intimately linked with a plane of probability, as well as exploring tools for helping us be more grounded and integrated amidst the chaos of life is important. I think he is really tuned in to something important.
