EL VIAJE AL PODER DE LA MENTE (THE POWER OF THE MIND. A SCIENTIFIC JOURNEY)
Book ID/图书代码： 05518010B36901
English Summary/英文概要： With this book, Eduardo Punset completes a trilogy dedicated to happiness, love and power, “three themes that unite and move the world”.
After El viaje a la felicidad and El viaje al amor, which have already amazed more than half a million readers, the author invites us on an ‘intimate voyage of exploration of the power of the mind’.
“How have millions upon millions of people been able to live, fall in love, commit suicide, lust, work like crazy, take care of their children... without really knowing what’s going inside them, how their mind works?”. Answering this fascinating enigma is the central purpose of the book.
On this vast and entertaining journey, Punset investigates the idea of our home in the Universe —“the big bang didn’t just happen once, but is repeated at regular intervals”— in other words the usefulness of “unlearning”. We discover, along with the author, that “the brain is prepared, although it might not like it, to change its mind; that we build our future according to the past; that not all of the mind’s irrational systems are invalid; that we are mentally programmed to be unique and that, perhaps, this explains the infinite capacity of people to make themselves unhappy.”
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 繼前兩部暢銷著作《幸福之旅》、《愛情之旅》之後，最後終結之作《精神能量之旅》將帶了讀者探索人類精神能量運作奧秘，精神力如何讓我們維持生活，享受愛情、為工作著迷，甚至有些人走向絕路，這些行為的背後大腦（也就科學認定心智所在）扮演何種角色？要找出這答案或許在其他範疇如宗教、醫學或心理學都有其不同見解，但從科學的角度或許能切入人類的理性構造。(VL)
