The biological mind

how brain, body, and environment collaborate to make us who we are

The author argues that the brain is an organ, and that the soul like qualities we attribute to it are more often myth than fact. That the ability to act with freewill is overestimated because the brain cannot be separated from the body or its surroundings, and that if we focus exclusively on the brain to explain behavior using faulty neuroscience then external psychophysiological factors are overlooked that can lead to mental illness.
