Mind: A Journey to the Heart of Being Human

　　心智是什麼？

　　自身經驗如何創造？

　　心智與大腦有何不同？

　　人是否真有自由意志？

　　雖然我們常用情感、思想與記憶來形容心智，但組成心智的實質內容卻難以被明確的定義。



　　在本書中，《第七感：自我蛻變的新科學》《喜悅的腦》暢銷作家、精神醫學教授丹尼爾‧席格以他跨領域的背景，彙整出一個心智的定義，並解釋了在各種層面中的自我究竟是誰，心智本身又帶有何種潛能。



　　讀者將跟隨席格進行一趟自我與科學的深度旅程，探索有關意識、主觀經驗、訊息處理、自我組織性，以及我們與世界的關係。從神經生物學到量子物理、人類學到心理學，本書廣大的科學討論正能懇切回應「心智是什麼？」這人類自古以來的大哉問。（文／博客來編譯）

In this book, noted neuropsychiatrist and New York Times best-selling author Daniel J. Siegel, MD, uses his characteristic sensitivity and interdisciplinary background to offer a definition of the mind that illuminates the how, what, when, where, and even why of who we are, of what the mind is, and what the mind's self has the potential to become. MIND takes the reader on a deep personal and scientific journey into consciousness, subjective experience, and information processing, uncovering the mind's self-organizational properties that emerge from both the body and the relationships we have with one another, and with the world around us. While making a wide range of sciences accessible and exciting--from neurobiology to quantum physics, anthropology to psychology--this book offers an experience that addresses some of our most pressing personal and global questions about identity, connection, and the cultivation of well-being in our lives.
