In his succinct & informative way, Surendra Verma explores interesting facets of the mind, presenting 100 insights
- not philosophical or spiritual, but strictly scientific
- into our minds & our emotions. In the process, he provides glimpses of up-to-date scientific thinking on matters of the mind. The stories are short, sharp & simple, & require absolutely no background in science. For ease of navigations they are loosely organized into four sections: the creative & competent mind, the individual & interactive mind, the motley mind & the mysterious mind.
The Little Book of the Mind explains all about 'gifts' of your mind, discussing such things as making the most of your memory, flexing muscles in the brain, laugh & be creative, putting off until tomorrow, liar neurons on fire, the glass is always full, why it hurts like hell when you're dumped, craving your next internet fix, why we love the dark side of things & the science of superstition. Read it & wonder.
