Conoscere se stessi. La nuova scienza dell'autoconsapevolezza

There is less and less in the way new fields of endeavor for psychologists, it seems. So a book on self-awareness holds promise. Stephen Fleming, who researches and teaches about it, has summed up the state of the art in Know Thyself. There is much to understand, but less to be excited about. Self-aw Leggi tutto

تشير الأبحاث إلى أن التعديلات اللاواعية على نطاق واسع يتم إجراؤها باستمرار لضمان بقاء أفعالنا على المسار الصحيح. في بعض الأحيان ، تصبح عمليات المراقبة اللاواعية هذه مكشوفة ، على غرار الطريقة التي نكشف بها الأوهام البصرية . على سبيل المثال ، عندما أسافر للعمل في مترو أنفاق لندن ، يجب أن أخطو على سلسل Leggi tutto

Nice for an introduction into the research that happens under the banner of metacognition. As somebody writing a thesis in the area the book served to patch some knowledge holes, but what I came for was more broad understanding and connections, and wild ideas and speculations that would engage me.

Was bedeutet Bewusstsein des Selbst? Jeder zweite Ratgeber beschäftigt sich mit Phrasen, die genau dieses Thema "self-awareness" thematisieren. Der kognitive Neurowissenschaftlicher Stephen Fleming zerbröselt dieses Schlagwort und zeigt was es neurowissenschaftlich auf sich hat. Wie können wir unser Leggi tutto

Not sure who this book is targeted at. Not me that’s for sure. OMG it was boring. You won’t learn a thing about “self awareness” in this book, an almost criminally mislabelled book, or at least a teeny tiny portion of that domain. The biggest shortcoming of this book is that like almost all psycholo Leggi tutto

This book is a great introduction to Metacognition and its connection with other topics. It absolutely improved my knowledge and helped me understand and give names to different situations that I couldn't explain before, it also helped me understand other people more. It was fun and interesting.

In a world where artificial intelligence and neural networks are quickly learning how to think, speak, and act like we do, there’s still one crucial quality that sets humans apart from machines: our capacity for self-awareness. Since the days of the Greek thinker Leggi tutto

At first, I would like to thank Netgalley and Basic Books for allowing me to review this book. Keep in mind that my review, however, is my true opinion on this book. A book on health, mind and body by Stephen M Fleming is behind the interesting cover and the book “Know Thyself”. The author, Stephen M Leggi tutto

This is a book in essentially two halves. The first is a situation report from the present frontiers of neuroscience, or rather one of its frontiers. The central theme is that of metacognition. These are the processes in the brain that monitor our cognitive performance on any number of tasks from re Leggi tutto

I’ve recently finished this incredibly interesting book. I was drawn to it because of its focus on #selfawareness, of course, but it wasn’t at all written from the perspective I expected! This book talks about the neurology of #selfawareness – literally, what happens in the human #brain that makes us Leggi tutto
