Fully Human

In this hotly anticipated book, multi-million copy bestselling author and psychologist Steve Biddulph draws on more than forty years experience in the field to tackle the question: what is a human being? Fully Human delves deep into how our consciousness, based in a multi-layered brain, a super-adapted body-mind nervous system, and ultra-aware senses that we mostly ignore, all works to help us be the super beings we are today. Biddulph introduces the concept of a four-storey mansion of being human: our bodies, emotions and mind make up the first three storeys and the fourth is our spirituality, secular or not; how we hear the music and join the dance. These storeys serve as a framework to explore what we are as humans and how, by learning to observe the different directions each of these storeys will pull us throughout our lives, we can tap into a more harmonious life that helps bring these four core aspects our lives in alignment.The aim of the book is to dramatically expand our view of what makes up a human being. Motivated by the climate crisis and other worldwide events that divide us, Biddulph promotes a kindly view of ourselves and others, teaching us how we can better value growth and change. Being Human will help us to appreciate the symphony orchestra of organs playing in our chest in any moment of any day, to activate our brain, our body, our mind and the world around us at once, and notice how much our life improves. And it all starts with simply lifting our little finger.
