Book Reviews of Multimind

Book Review: Did you think your mind is single ?
Summary: 5 Stars

Ornstein here provides in this concise book arguments in favour of the multi-faceted working of the mind. If something can be called "mind", then it must be realized that several minds (functions) work throughout the brain. There is no single entity that can be called the "mind" as several processes work in parallel and contend for a higher-layer, call it consciousness, soul or whatever. Using recent works in psychology, Ornstein demonstrates that no single entity can cover the different, and even inconsistent aspects that underlie our human behavior.

Summary of Multimind

This reprint of Robert Ornstein's classic presents a startling new concept of how the human mind works -- a readable and accessible introduction to the new science of the mind, where different parts of the mind are thought to come to the fore to handle different situations. This means that 'we' are not the same person from moment to moment and have different memories and abilities in different situations.

The book has a wonderful new cover from the drawings of Ted Dewan.

If there is one book to read on the nature of the human mind, this is it!' --Paul Ehrlich

'Bob Ornstein's tour de cortex is smashing--battering barriers between domains of knowledge that have traditionally been isolated because they have been viewed by scholars as unrelated. But in this far-ranging journey nothing of mind is alien to the intrepid adventurer seeking similarities, continuities, and universals of human experience. You will find yourself in the fast lane of a mobius strip whizzing past and then side-by-side with internal and external reality, evolution and suicide, TWITS and CREEPS...' --Philip Zimbardo
