The View from Within

Scientific study of the mind/brain has come a long way since the days of mapping bumps on the head. Brian scanning techniques have brought great precision to third person research, which investigates the brain from the outside. This book starts at the other end. It presents the results of first person investigation, examining the conscious mind from the inside. Psychology, philosophy, and contemplative religious traditions all contribute to the fascinating range of methods for making the view from within as precise and reliable as the weights and measures of physical science.
