Combining leading theories of psychology and behavior with case studies, personality quizzes, and practical advice, National Geographic Mind explores the question we all enjoy asking: Who am I? Quirky, often funny, always thought-provoking photographs, cartoons and illustrations bring the message home on every page. Interesting scenarios of mental health make for a lively, readable narrative that combines today's leading theories in the science of the mind and personality with life-enchancing questions, quizzes, practices, and tools for self-discovery. An entertaining book about science, National Geographic Mind connects with the reader in a very personal and ultimately helpful way.
