Praise for Pictures of the Mind

“Pictures of the Mind is an extraordinary book. It makes the unfolding scientific story of consciousness vivid, even joyous, while offering a sophisticated tour of what is known about ourselves, our emotions, and our brains. A beautiful read.”

—Ruth R. Faden,
Philip Franklin Wagley Professor of Biomedical Ethics and
Director of the Berman Institute of Bioethics at Johns Hopkins University

“This book explores the many ways in which neuroscience is revealing remarkable things about the inner workings of our minds—not the least of which is the transformative impact that meditation can have on destructive thoughts and behavior. I have no doubt that Miriam Boleyn-Fitzgerald’s work will be of great benefit to those with an interest in this fascinating new area of inquiry.”
