It expands on a new theory that describes the evolutionary trajectory leading to conscious life forms. In short, the evidence suggests that consciousness first evolved some 300 million years ago as a consequence of the introduction of feelings. Feelings offer a strategy for making behavioural decisions. Besides playing a crucial role in the evolution of the human mind, they are a key factor in regard to mental health and quality of life. Fortunately, the human brain is plastic. By exploiting available options for modulating the mind, it is therefore possible to impact on what sort of experiences the brain serves. More specifically, you can strengthen the capacity for positive feelings and reduce the sway of negative feelings. The text covers biological, neurological, psychological, and philosophical aspects of the mind. | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | Awareness and the Capacity to Experience Life; Biology and Mental Health; Conscious and Unconscious Pr | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-43685-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-82885-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-43685-2 | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016 |
