Summary
This chapter taught the distinction between the brain and the mind. While about half of who you are comes from genetics, the other half comes from your environment. You learn through a series of chemical and electrical interactions, meaning that learning is physiological. The chapter also spoke to “mediation”, which through abstract representational systems helps to build abstract structures in the mind. One thing that must be mentioned is focusing on meditation, point out the stimulus (the what), give it meaning (the why), and provide a strategy (the how).
