THE HUMAN MIND - PAUL BLOOM KARTONIERT (TB)

Are you a human? Do you have a mind? Then this book is for you. 'The story of the human mind as
told by psychology's best storyteller' DANIEL GILBERT 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. 'An extraordinary book that
absolutely delivers on its sweeping ambitions ... like having the mind's complexities untangled
by a witty  eloquent and deeply knowledgeable friend' OLIVER BURKEMAN
