Description

In 'MINDING THE GAP' Rob Stones offers an insightful explanation of the activity of the brain and the processes of the mind. He argues persuasively that making use of this understanding of our mental life encourages us to make helpful choices that will enhance our own well-being. From the premise that our behaviours are internally controlled, 'MINDING THE GAP' explores the many ways in which we can manage our choices to make the best of whatever circumstances we encounter. We do live in a world that is replete with uncertainty. It's one of the few things that we can be sure of! To be human is to draw daily breath in a world over which we have only limited control. As a result, we all live in 'the Gap' between the reality that we perceive and the ideal experiences that we strive for. This book will assist you to be a skilful manager of your unique mind in order to address the Gap between how things are and how you would like them to be.
