Subjective Realities

Do you dream in colour? Do you hear an inner voice? Do you see images in your mind's eye?

'This book is a pleasure to read, endlessly stimulating and insightful.' Robert Sapolsky, bestselling author of Behave

We can never truly get inside another person's mind. Some of us live in a world of vivid mental images and can replay entire conversations in our heads. Others have no mind's eye or inner voice at all.

Neuroscientist Patrick House reveals the surprising variations in our individual imaginations. He explores how the hidden differences between our minds shape everything from memory, creativity and relationships to the way we see ourselves and others. Subjective Realities offers us a new way to connect with others and understand how we relate to the world. In this elegant and concise book, House argues that there's tangible value in taking the time to discover the nitty-gritty of other people's minds ... and our own.
