Publisher's Summary
Every day of your life is spent surrounded by mysteries that involve what appear to be rather ordinary human behaviors. What makes you happy? Where did your personality come from? Why do you have trouble controlling certain behaviors? Why do you behave differently as an adult than you did as an adolescent?
Since the start of recorded history, and probably even before, people have been interested in answering questions about why we behave the way we do. And many fields - including philosophy, psychology, and even theology - are focused on finding explanations. But it's only in recent decades that researchers can finally approach, understand, and solve the mysteries of emotion, thought, and behavior - solutions that help each of us to better know ourselves and the people around us. The result is not only a more solid understanding of what it means to be human, but a stronger foundation from which to live more effectively with others and to grasp their intricate behaviors and quirks.
Now you can gain those benefits through a series of 24 intriguing lectures from an award-winning teacher. Professor Leary takes you on a fascinating journey into the complex heart of who you are, using the latest theories, case studies, experiments, and stories to cast light on a wide variety of human behaviors, both ordinary and puzzling.
Throughout these lectures, you'll learn about the various interacting forces that influence your behavior. These include your genetic blueprint, your personal experiences, your upbringing, and the people and social groups that surround you.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Solving Deep Mysteries of Mind
I loved this book. It brings us face to face many Whys we have asked all through life. Though it answers some but also through deep understanding of its focus tries to suggest answers to many others.

Entertaining throughout
Initially thought it was going to be Psych101 but every lecture has something new or a different perspective. The author also doesn’t theorise without research, so seems like solid information.

Nice Book
The good thing about this book is it covers so many topics. But weak point for me was some of the topics were not in detail and kind of obvious. But overall, by listening to this book, i didn’t waste my time. Good work.
