Produktinformationen zu „Embodied “
We grow up thinking there are five senses, but forget about the ten neglected senses of the body that both enable and limit our experience.
Embodied explores the psychology of physical sensation in ten chapters , with each sense explored through interviews and case studies of extreme experiences. A final chapter presents a theory of what is common across these ten senses: of how we deal with the urge to act, and what happens when extreme sensation is inescapable.

Klappentext zu „Embodied “
We grow up thinking there are five senses, but we forget about the ten neglected senses of the body that both enable and limit our experience.Embodied explores the psychology of physical sensation in ten chapters: balance, movement, pressure (acting in gravity), breathing, fatigue, pain, itch, temperature, appetite, and expulsion (the senses of physical matter leaving the body). For each sense, two people are interviewed who live with extreme experiences of the sense being investigated; their stories bring to life how far physical sensations matter to us and how much they define what is possible in our life. How physical sensation shapes behavior and how behavior is shaped by sensation are examined. A final chapter presents a theory of what is common across the ten senses: of how we deal with being urged to act, and what happens when extreme sensation is inescapable.

Pressezitat
Psychology is deeply intertwined with our bodily existence, yet this fact is poorly acknowledged. ^i Embodied^r describes ten bodily sensations that are hardly discussed in introductory psychology textbooks. Each chapter guides the reader through the fascinating world within the skin, integrating sound scientific knowledge about bodily sensation with everyday experiences and stories of when things go awry. The book is at once instructive and entertaining, and guarantees a fresh insight. It is a delightful read. Omer Van den Bergh, Professor of Psychology, University of Leuven
