The Human Mind
Enlightening, uplifting and refreshingly innovative, this series takes a pioneering journey through the unexplored galaxy inside our own heads. Combining cutting edge science with extraordinary experiments, dazzling graphics and inspiring human stories, it shows how personality is formed throughout our lives and how our minds work to win friends and influence people. By exploring the science behind the workings of the human mind, the programmes reveal what each of us can do to make the most of its remarkable capability - including how to literally 'think faster' and even master our most powerful emotions.
