The Human Mind

It is nice to learn how mysterious and how complex the human mind is, who discovered the synapse, when, in what specific university, and what everyone was doing that day, but what you really want to know is how your mind works, how you reason, how you have your feelings and ideas, and how your mind affects you in every detail. You want to know exactly what happens in your mind when you watch the painting of Renoir with the beautiful woman wearing the white dress playing the piano and why it makes you enjoy a beautiful moment then, compared to watching a doorknob. You want to know all details related to how a simple yellow car on the road reminds you of your best friend and of all the loving moments that you once had together, through what cognitive mechanisms it happens, and even more, you want to know why it reminds you of your friend sometimes, while other times it associates with work, rain, and shopping. How exactly does the human mind know all these? It is interesting as it happens, while it remains at an unconscious level, and you just cannot find out how everything takes place in order to be able to control it and use it whenever you want. You want to know exactly how you are able to predict the displacement of a tennis ball in order to hit it perfectly in an instant while giving its exact speed, direction, and angular momentum necessary to win, and doing so long before your conscious mind even perceives the ball. How can your subconscious do anything in the outside world without the conscious mind, while the conscious mind should always be more capable and therefore better prepared according to science? What is the exact cognitive mechanism? Because if you can only know it, all your strategies in life would remain successful, and you always win. You want to know how your mind is able to solve advanced mathematical problems and how it retrieves on its own the proper knowledge in order to perform very abstract operations. How does everything happen? How do you have your ideas in mathematics, business, and art? What is the human creativity, and how can the human mind achieve it at will and in all domains? What exactly makes your brain perform better or worse under all circumstances, and why is reasoning different in everybody, even unique? How do you perform abstract thinking? How do you imagine? How exactly does your mind generate plans and strategies related to important future events? How do you comprehend and enjoy various topics in psychology, literature, mathematics, art, and music? How do you love? How does everything happen within your mind, brain, and entire organism?

This is of high interest and this is what you want to know, because this is what you must actually know in life, since without this knowledge, you cannot understand your mind, the extraordinary human mind. Furthermore, since your mind and reasoning integrate you in life and in the world, you cannot understand yourself, life, this world, and your place and meaning in life and in this world without understanding the human mind along with the human reasoning. While it is important to know these well, otherwise you end up doing everything else instead of reasoning accurately. Consequently, you cannot develop accordingly, and you cannot behave adequately in life and in the world, since ignorance itself harms this world, as it has its own cause, the lack of accurate knowledge of the human mind and of the human world.

Throughout this book, we undergo a comprehensive study of the human mind, including its structure, abilities, development, interconnectivity, reasoning, and further meanings, allowing you to understand yourself and your entire cognition. If you want to understand the human mind in all its details, this book is for you.
