Mind

A New York Times Bestseller. A scientist’s exploration into the mysteries of the human mind. What is the mind? What is the experience of the self truly made of? How does the mind differ from the brain? Though the mind’s contents―its emotions, thoughts, and memories―are often described, there is a dearth of literature available on defining what exactly the mind is. In this book, noted neuropsychiatric and New York Times best-selling author Daniel J. Siegel, MD, uses his characteristic sensitivity and prominent presence in scientific communities to offer a definition of the mind that illuminates what we are made of, how we process information, and why we feel and respond to certain ways in our day-to-day lives. MIND takes readers on a deep personal and scientific journey into consciousness and subjective experience, revealing the mind’s self-organizational properties that emerge because of both environmental factors and social interactions with others.
