The Evolution of Consciousness

Implications for Mental Health and Quality of Life

de Bjørn Grinde ...

Series series Behavioral Science and Psychology (R0)
This book gives the reader an understanding of what consciousness is about, and of how to make conscious experiences more pleasant. It expands on a new theory that describes the evolutionary trajectory leading to conscious life forms. In short, the evidence suggests that consciousness first evolved some 300 million years ago as a consequence of the introduction of feelings. Feelings offer a ... Leer más
