Embodied Mind: How the body influences our thoughts, emotions, and memories

We understand the work of the human body as a number of interdependent physiological processes: starting with how the muscles interact with the bones, ending with the internal work of each cell. For the body to function, no component works alone. Why, then, is the mind attributed exclusively to the brain?
This book challenges the basic principles of neurobiology and proves that the mind goes far beyond the brain and lives in every cell of our body.

Did you know that:
- the traumatic experience of parents can devote their children and even grandchildren,
- after transplantation of organs, it is possible to change the personality of the recipient,
- bacteria in the intestines affect our brain, nervous system and other parts of the body,
- Cells "remember" their past, starting from the moment of conception.

"The book contains shocking studies that our feelings, thoughts and memories are formed by physiology, and not just the functions of the brain. The author invites us to think non -standard and look at the body not as a "vehicle", but as a part of a much larger picture than previously considered in scientific ideas about mind and self. " - Daniel Siegel, Doctor of Medical Sciences, author of the bestseller "Consciousness. Science and art of presence "
