Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
Wherever we find ourselves - at the exam or the doctor’s examination, in the supermarket, or driving a car - we constantly have to make decisions. Should I trust the diagnosis or advertising of "useful" sweets? Do we definitely remember the answer to the question in the ticket? Are you sure that we will have time to slip into yellow? And in general, how do we know what we know or, no less important, do not know?
In this book, the cognitive neurobiologist Stephen M. Fleming clearly and clearly talks about the meta of meteousness - the ability to ponder his thoughts. Like a conductor guiding musicians, it imperceptibly affects all our actions. And training this skill, we better understand ourselves, other people and the world around us. Why is it sometimes easier for us to believe a stranger than your children"s memories? What to do when it is not possible to remember the word that turns in the tongue? How does escapism work and why do we forget about everything, plunging into the plot of an exciting film or game? Neurobiologists have found a new answer to the ancient call to “know oneself”, and he promises not only philosophical, but also practical benefits
