Description

Where do our thoughts come from?
Do we all see the same blue?
And how much is our eye really like a camera?

The mind is the tool that sets humans apart from the rest of the animal kingdom, and the most crucial part of our very being – but what actually is it? From trying to decide whether or not we’re robots, understanding why some people commit acts of violence, to figuring out the art of persuasion; this essential guide to the inner workings of our minds explores the questions we really want to know the answers to. Making the complex comprehensible, this informative book provides a new insight into how our minds work and the role they play in modern life. Whether it’s pondering over why you’re usually right about everything, or discovering colour; Man vs Mind shows that you don’t need to be a psychologist to understand more about what’s going on up there!
