This book aims to explore the impact of human alterations of Earth’s ecological systems on human health. Human activities are producing fundamental biophysical changes faster than ever before in the history of our species, which are accompanied by dangerous health effects.

This relation is to be upgrading, because today both ecology and medicine pursue few systemic cha...

Brain, Decision Making, and Mental Health acknowledges that thinking is not a constant phenomenon but varies considerably across cultures. Critical thinking is particularly important in bridging thinking divisions and its applicability across sciences, particularly medical sciences. We see critical thinking as educable and the arts as means to achieve this purpose. We address the multidimensional relationship between thinking and health and related mechanisms. Thinking mainly affects emotion regulation and executive function; in other words, both mental and physical health are related as a function of thoughts. Considering the thinking‐feeling‐emotion regulation/executive function pathway, it would be reasonable to propose thinking capacities‐based interventions to impact emotion regulation and executive function, such as mindfulness and psychotherapy. We review decision-making taking place in integrated and social contexts and discuss the decision-making styles-decision outcomes relation. Finally, artificial thinking and intelligence prepare us for decision-making outside the human mind.

Il libro presenta in modo completo e aggiornato la concezione olistica della mente e le nuove prospettive derivanti dall'integrazione tra la psicologia e le discipline non convenzionali nei processi di guarigione e di mantenimento del benessere. Nel testo sono descritte alcune tecniche di meditazione, di digito-pressione e di moxa tibetane, cinesi e taoiste utilizzabili nel trattamento di alcuni disturbi psicologici e nel potenziamento del sistema energetico individuale, che l'Autore ha appreso in Cina, Birmania e nel suo percorso formativo in medicina tibetana. Ispirandosi al concetto olistico di unità mente-corpo alla base dell'antica arte terapeutica tibetana, il libro evidenzia, presentando alcune recenti ricerche e studi scientifici, quanto le emozioni possano influenzare lo stato di salute dell'individuo e quanto le tecniche di meditazione possano influire positivamente nel ripristinare uno stato di benessere e di equilibrio.
