The Secret Life of the Mind: How Our Brain Thinks, Feels and Decides
The Secret Life of the Mind: How Our Brain Thinks, Feels and Decides

Unveiling the brain's mysteries across disciplines.

If you've ever been curious about the whirring machine inside your skull, Mariano Sigman's "The Secret Life of the Mind" could be a mesmerizing read. It's like a friendly chat with a brain expert who can make complex neuroscience accessible. Picture yourself finally understanding not just how you think, but why you feel the way you do, in a way that respects the depth of the subject without overwhelming you.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

From one of the world's leading neuroscientists comes a deeply engaging trip into the depths of the human mind. In The Secret Life of the Mind, neuroscientist Mariano Sigman offers a grand yet concise survey of everything you ever wanted to know about how the mind works. From research showing that, even as infants, we are able to form notions of mathematics, language, and morality, to how years and years of formal and informal education can fundamentally change our brains and how we experience the world, The Secret Life of the Mind is an accessible and fascinating overview of neuroscience that will help readers begin to understand even the smallest things that make us who we are. Personal, surprising, and delightfully illuminating, The Secret Life of the Mind is an intimate look into our most intimate selves.
