Synopsis
Our individuality is under attack as never before. Two huge new forces - technological advances and the rise in fundamentalism - are in their different ways combining to threaten our control of our minds and so the whole way our society functions. We have never more urgently needed to look at what we want for ourselves as individuals - for our children, and for our future society.
This book will draw on the latest findings in neuroscience to show how far we are (and can be) in control of the development of our brains and minds - and the actions we need to take now both to safeguard our individuality and to find the fulfilment which our current unfettered materialism cannot provide.
All this inevitably poses many questions about human nature, our past, what makes us individual, the connection between the brain and the mind, what a society of fulfilled individuals would actually mean . . . all of which this book will attempt to answer.
