It turns out that there are all kinds of automated systems in your body that are making sense of the world for you and after they do that, they give you a picture of the world. The interesting part is that picture may be more or less accurate based on a lot of things that are part of your programming.Paul is a&nbsp;professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto and&nbsp;professor&nbsp;emeritus of Psychology at Yale University. He teaches a popular “Intro to Psychology” class that he turned into his seventh book, called: “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Psych-Story-Human-Paul-Bloom/dp/0063096358" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Psych: The Story of the Human Mind</a>.”Because he&nbsp;studies&nbsp;psychology at so many different levels,&nbsp;he brings&nbsp;new knowledge and new synthesis of ideas to the discussion of the human mind. Topics range from consciousness to ChatGPT and BDSM, from whether&nbsp;you have a soul or if you can attain&nbsp;happiness.&nbsp;Paul’s&nbsp;writing and lectures show how psychology can give us practical insights into important issues. He addresses the treatment of mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety and the best way to lead&nbsp;a&nbsp;fulfilling&nbsp;life.
