What is the mind? Where is it located physically? How does the brain differ from the mind? What is the experience of self-awareness? A deep and captivating exploration of the human mind conducted by scientist and bestselling author Daniel Siegel.
The word 'mind' is used to mean 'intelligence' and 'logic', contrasting it with the soul or emotions. Renowned psychiatrist and psychotherapist Daniel Siegel uses this concept in a broader sense, encompassing everything related to the subjectively felt experience of one's own life: from feelings and thoughts to sensory experiences of connections with the planet as a whole. The mind signifies our consciousness, understanding of this sensory feeling of life, experiencing the knowing edge of awareness.
This book stands at the intersection of several sciences: from neurobiology and quantum physics to anthropology and psychology. In it, the author explores profound questions about consciousness, subjectivity, and the process of perceiving information, revealing the self-organizing aspect of the mind embodied both in the body and in relationships with other people and the surrounding world.
For whom is this book
For psychologists and psychotherapists.
For anyone interested in psychology and mindfulness.

From the author
The mind is the very essence of the fundamental nature of humans, the deepest sense of being alive - here, now, in the present moment. Nevertheless, it goes beyond consciousness and the subjective feeling of life and includes a more expansive process that connects us with each other and the world. This important process is one of the edges of the mind, immeasurable but critically significant for us. In the book, we will delve deeply into this edge.
Perhaps we cannot quantitatively assess the aspects of the mind underlying the understanding of existence, but this inner feeling of life and the sense of connection with other people and the world are very real subjective phenomena. There are many names for such immeasurable edges of reality. Some call it the essence of a person. Others - the core, soul, spirit, true nature.
I simply call it the mind.
