Читать книгу The Secret Life of the Mind: How Our Brain Thinks, Feels and Decides - Mariano Sigman - Страница 4

‘To read minds nowadays, one doesn’t need to be a magician or clairvoyant. As science takes leaps and bounds towards understanding the mysteries of consciousness, Mariano Sigman, one of the most notable neuroscientists of today, has written a book on just this subject’

Revista Nueva

‘The brain is the star of this book, with chapters focusing on its characteristics throughout childhood and youth, identity, decision-making, consciousness, education and its capacity to transform itself. In exploring the psychological element of neuroscience, Mariano Sigman tells the story of the human mind as a journey through some of the least travelled paths of mankind … A wonderful read’

La Nacion

‘Sigman confirms that although we are capable of detecting and manipulating consciousness, science is still not able to physically break it down. The idea of the mind as a tabula rasa is only one of many erroneous notions that Sigman’s brilliant book helps to correct’

El Cultural, El Mundo

‘What makes The Secret Life of the Mind a great read is Sigman’s solid capacity as a scientific storyteller’

Clarin

‘In his latest publication, Sigman takes readers on a new journey into their own minds. This introspective journey attempts to access the deepest parts of our brain, where maybe even the secret of human essence lies’

RTVE

‘What differentiates The Secret Life of the Mind from other books about the mind is that it takes on neuroscience from a psychological point of view, as well as taking into account psychoanalysis, behavioural economics and philosophy’

Nosotras

‘Sigman takes us on an entertaining journey through the brain to show us how we make decisions, how we feel and how we think’

El Confidencial

‘The Secret Life of the Mind proposes a journey similar to that undertaken by Carl Sagan in Cosmos aboard his vessel of knowledge, but in this case through our inner universe’
