All in the Mind [Audiobook]

Understanding the human mind remains one of the most alluring challenges we face. Pioneering investigations and technologies are enabling science to gain new insights into the complexity of the brain, its ability to change and adapt, and the connections between its biology and the mind and individual experience and behaviour. Drawing on this research as well as interviews with neuroscientists, psychiatrists, psychologists and the people they help, science journalist Lynne Malcolm takes us on a fascinating journey to discover how this new knowledge is not only changing the way we understand the brain but also changing lives. Alongside stories about consciousness and perception, sleep, dreaming and hallucinations, memory, identity, creativity, the mind-body connection and mental illness and recovery are powerful personal tales of healing and transformation that offer hope to millions. Illuminating and inspiring, All In the Mind will change the way you think about the brain, the mind and our inherent potential.
