Description
How You Feel: The Story of the Mind as Told by the Body
This groundbreaking book explores the idea that our feelings and thoughts are not just mental events, but also deeply connected to our bodily experiences. Drawing on the latest research and a range of classic and contemporary thought, James Tresilian reveals that our brain and body are two parts of a single system that creates our mind and mental life.
By challenging traditional views of psychology as solely focused on the brain, Tresilian shows us that our feelings, thoughts and emotions are not isolated entities, but are inextricably linked to our physical presence. This new understanding has profound implications for how we think about ourselves and our place in the world.
