心灵
The only real music is the music of the heart.
The only real hope is the hope of the heart.
The only real wisdom is the wisdom of the heart.
The only real peace is the peace of the heart.
I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections, and the truth of imagination.
The human mind is designed to seek out and find evidence that confirms what it already believes.
The human mind is a story processor, not a logic processor.
The mind is divided into parts that sometimes conflict. Like a rider on the back of an elephant, the conscious, reasoning part of the mind has only limited control over the automatic, emotional part.
Positive emotions are like nutrients for the mind, helping us grow and flourish.
Positivity transforms us for the better. By opening our hearts and minds, positive emotions allow us to discover and build new skills, new ties, new knowledge, and new ways of being.
The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times… The best moments usually occur if a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.
The way to learn about the mind is to reverse-engineer it: to figure out what natural selection designed it to accomplish.
The mind is a system of organs of computation, designed by natural selection to solve the kinds of problems our ancestors faced in their foraging way of life.
Attention is the taking possession by the mind, in clear and vivid form, of one out of what seem several simultaneously possible objects or trains of thought.
The mind is not a blank slate but a dynamic system that constantly adapts and reorganizes itself.
