Atlas of Mind - Sahoo Fakir Mohan

In recent years, there has been tremendous progress in scientific and technological sectors. This has resulted in a significant rise in the standard of living. However, these advances are not strongly correlated with human happiness. The standard of life has yet to take an upward direction. As the basic gap between the standard of living and standard of life seems to spring from the problems of human relationships.

However, human relationship has been complicated owing to an inadequate understanding of individuals own behaviours as well as behaivours of others. Fortunately, psychologists, neurophysiologists and behaviour scientists have carried out extensive research to explore the frontiers of the human mind and behaviour. Yet a schism exists between scientific knowledge and peoples acquisition. The present book is an attempt to bring together some essential facts regarding human mind and present them in a style commensurate with people's needs. As a teacher and researcher, I have been prompted to take the academic stuffs out of the classroom and discussion forums and make them an essential part of our healthy living. Of course, it is not possible to achieve this objective within the scope of a single book. I have tried to focus on some representative areas of science. Hopefully the interest of readers will stimulate me further for projects of similar nature.
