Synopsis

Explore how the mind builds itself piece by piece and why some minds split into distinct personalities.

This nonfiction work traces the idea that what looks like a single person is really a system of smaller, interacting parts. It connects everyday mental life to the structures of the nervous system, showing how moment-to-moment consciousness arises from many background processes. Readers will see how early forms of organization in neurons relate to higher mental life, including memory, perception, and instinct.

The author explains complex ideas with clear examples, from how habits become automatic to how consciousness and subconsciousness influence each other. It also introduces practical concepts like how attention, learning, and perception shape our sense of self, and why some identities can temporarily take the lead.


  • How individuals are built from many smaller parts and how this shapes personality

  • How neuron structure and biological development mirror mental life

  • How automatic actions form through practice and changing attention

  • How the mind uses a “minimum of consciousness” to function efficiently



Ideal for readers curious about the science of the mind, memory, perception, and the roots of personality division.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
