Awards/获奖情况：Praise for Pictures of the Mind
“Pictures of the Mind is an extraordinary book. It makes the unfolding scientific story of consciousness vivid, even joyous, while offering a sophisticated tour of what is known about ourselves, our emotions, and our brains. A beautiful read.”---Ruth R. Faden, Philip Franklin Wagley Professor of Biomedical Ethics and Director of the Berman Institute of Bioethics at Johns Hopkins University
“This book explores the many ways in which neuroscience is revealing remarkable things about the inner workings of our minds—not the least of which is the transformative impact that meditation can have on destructive thoughts and behavior. I have no doubt that Miriam Boleyn-Fitzgerald’s work will be of great benefit to those with an interest in this fascinating new area of inquiry.”---Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, Author of The Joy of Living: Unlocking the Secret and Science of Happiness
“The mind is embodied, and it is relational. In this straightforward and illuminating book, Miriam Boleyn-Fitzgerald reveals pictures in both visual and narrative form that capture the power of the mind to transform the brain. How our mental lives shape and are shaped by neural circuitry—itself forever being molded by experience—is the central theme of these powerful portraits of what it means to be human. By learning to focus our minds in more compassionate ways—toward ourselves and others—we can literally promote a healthier and more integrated brain. Read these pages, and you’ll be able to see for yourself!”---Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., Author of Mindsight: The New Science of Personal Transformation, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine, Co-Investigator at the Center for Culture, Brain, and Development, and Co-Director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center
