Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Why are we who we are-and where are we headed?In The Rise and Fall of the Human Mind, neurologist and Yale-affiliated professor Martin Jan Stransky, M.D. delivers a sweeping, provocative, and profoundly readable journey into the past, present, and uncertain future of our greatest organ: the human brain.From the Big Bang to artificial intelligence, from tribal bonding to digital addiction, Dr. Stransky draws on cutting-edge neuroscience, evolutionary biology, genetics, psychology, and even quantum theory to explain the staggering ascent of the human mind-and the emerging forces that now threaten to unravel it.In this compelling and richly illustrated work, you'll explore: The astonishing 14-billion-year journey from atoms to neuronsHow our brains evolved to prioritize survival, emotion, and rewardWhy we are irrational thinkers with hidden biases-and how we decideHow memory is created, distorted, and manipulatedThe impact of language, culture, and group identity on cognitionHow technology is reshaping attention, parenting, education, and selfhoodThe looming neurological and societal risks of social media, AI, and digitized lifeDr. Stransky doesn't just explain how the mind works-he dares to ask if it's now beginning to fail. With clarity, wit, and urgency, The Rise and Fall of the Human Mind invites readers to see themselves-and our civilization-in a radical new light.Essential reading for anyone curious about the human condition, this book blends hard science with philosophical insight to deliver a message that is both hopeful and deeply alarming.
