Description
Thinking with the Body. How to expand our perception of reality beyond the mind
Book Summary
In Thinking with the Body, Francesca Speciane invites us to discover how our bodily perception conditions every aspect of our lives: from work and personal relationships to the way we dress, our language, or our sexuality. Far from considering mind and body as separate entities, the author demonstrates that our physical organization directly influences our thoughts and emotions. A revealing work that proposes a paradigm shift to expand our perception of reality and achieve greater holistic well-being.
What is it about?
The book explores the deep connection between the body and the mind, questioning the traditional separation between the two. Speciane argues that, just as our emotions and thoughts shape our physical health, the structure and state of our body determine our way of thinking and feeling. Through a practical and reflective approach, the work analyzes how the internal perception of the body affects areas as diverse as the relationship with space and time, interaction with others, nutrition, and sexuality. The author proposes tools to become aware of this interaction and use it to our advantage, thereby expanding our understanding of reality.
