Fascinating, essential texts on human psychology make The Book of the Mind an ideal resource for anyone who thinks about the way we think. This imaginative collection of key writings on the human mind – which includes case notes, journals, poetry, fiction, and letters, as well as more formal writings – comprises humanity’s most significant attempts to understand our own minds. Psychiatrist Stephen Wilson provides introductions to each of six sections – on perception, memory, emotion, thought, consciousness, and the self – and a linking commentary that sets each excerpt in the context. From Buddha and Aristotle to Descartes and Wittgenstein, from Shakespeare, Tolstoy, Proust, and Beckett to Freud, Jung, Klein, and Sacks, this is a superb overview of great thinkers on human thought.
