Description
This book brilliantly charts history’s many different ways of explaining the unconscious mind, from ancient descriptions of the “underworld†to theories of contemporary neuroscience. Guy Claxton’s beautifully written book takes in intellectual and cultural history, literature, and spirituality. In The Wayward Mind, the common image of the mind is skillfully redrawn to acknowledge the constant influence of its invisible foundations on everyday human behavior.
