O knihe

Why does life sometimes feel distressing? Life circumstances can change of course, but Roy Sturgess argues here that the quality of our thinking is an unexplored contributor. Our minds play tricks on us. They are not anchored in our bodies. We live as if our minds have a life of their own. Only when the mind is returned to the body, the author suggests, can we start to live in harmony with the world. The mind is not the only problem. This book identifies a powerful and complex force - the socio - that lies behind mind, pulling it hither and thither. Anchoring the mind is the first prerequisite for understanding the socio. Philosophy hasn't helped in this quest. Originally taking the form of a conversation between friends, philosophy has become an academic activity found in libraries and seminar rooms. Socrates placed philosophy at the very centre of our lives. Only when it returns there, the present author argues, will our understanding of the power of the mind and the socio blossom.
