Inner Sense : How the new Science of Interoception can Transform Your Health – Caroline Williams

Description

Interoception is one of our most important – and most mysterious – senses. It’s how our bodies tell our brains what we’re feeling – when we’re hungry, when we’re cold, how we should respond to stress and panic.

In Inner Sense, Caroline Williams uncovers a field that’s poised to revolutionise health, and explores groundbreaking new techniques that can improve our mental and physical wellbeing. She meets brain scientists mapping the nervous system, neurodivergent researchers working to hone their interoception skills and health practitioners investigating how this inner sense can aid mindfulness, and even disordered eating.

Combining science, medicine, mindfulness and physical therapy, Inner Sense is the first book to bring this exciting new field of medicine to a general readership.
