Krátky popis
Our brains have distinct mechanisms for talking about thoughts,
about memories, about feelings and about the future. In Praise of
Talking will be about the neuroscience of how we talk about
ourselves, how we disclose information, and how that activity is
central to the bonds we make with each other. It draws on a wealth
of the latest neurological research, some of which the author has
conducted himself, on talking about ourselves to other people - how
we do it and why we do it, and what our brains are up to while we
do it.We talk about ourselves so consistently and pervasively we
are unaware how much talking about ourselves to others supports our
intense social lives.It is the currency underlying social
transactions and social life, allowing us to build trust and
rapport with others. In turn, building trust and rapport with
others is at the core of our mental and social well-being.
Conversation depends critically on having a richly-stocked
autobiographical memory that we use not just in the service of
remembering, but also in negotiating our position and status with
others.We talk about ourselves to change what other people think of
us, feel about us, will do for us.This novel way of thinking about
talking turns our view of identity inside-out because our sense of
identity arises out of what we think others think about us. We tell
our stories to others, drawing on our fragile and fallible
autobiographical memories, which are in turn shaped by the
questions we are asked and the stories we want to tell about
ourselves, and by what others tell us. And we do so to affect what
others think about us - not simply to disclose ourselves to
others.And this is all in the service of social belonging: to the
family, to tribes, to institutions, to cultures and subcultures, to
nations, to those who profess the same ideals and stories that we
do.In Praise of Talking blends expertise and a scientific journey
of discovery, leavened by Shane O'Mara's warm tone and evangelical
gift for transmitting the wonder of the brain to a wide readership.
