An Introduction to Embodied Mind: Thinking Outside the Head offers readers a valuable gateway to understanding one of the most exciting ideas in philosophy and cognitive science: that minds are not confined to the brain but extend into the body and environment. Written in a clear, engaging style, the book guides readers through competing views of embodiment and shows how they matter for everyday life.
The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 begins with familiar ideas about mind–body separation and gradually leads readers toward embodied perspectives, distinguishing between “weak” and “strong” versions of embodiment. Part 2 develops two influential approaches to embodied cognition and highlights their strengths as well as their challenges. Part 3 explores how these theories make a difference in practice, with applications to free will, ethics, technology, and cultural life.
Each chapter includes accessible overviews, exercises in “Otto’s Workbook” that encourage active reflection, and “Sidequests” and “The More You Know” boxes that invite readers to dig deeper. Examples are drawn from popular culture, psychology, and everyday experience, making the material approachable for students and general readers alike.
With its blend of rigorous philosophy, practical exercises, and lively examples―as well as a helpful glossary―An Introduction to Embodied Mind: Thinking Outside the Head provides an engaging exploration of embodiment for anyone curious about how minds really work.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
