Summary

Conventional science holds that "the mind" is only an illusion, a side effect of activity in the brain. Now comes a major work that argues exactly the opposite: that the mind has a life of its own. Schwartz, a leading researcher in brain dysfunctions, demonstrates that the human mind is an independent entity that can shape and control the physical brain. Illustrations.
