Mirror neurons are one of the most extraordinary discoveries of contemporary neuroscience. They explain, on a scientific level, why we understand other people’s behavior to a deep degree. They were discovered by Professor Giacomo Rizzolatti, who wrote the preface to this book. Our aim here is to provide basic knowledge of the key concepts of this discovery through the use of clear language and many illustrations. The book also covers the effects of mirror neurons in our daily lives and in the mechanisms that regulate social interactions, so we can learn how to handle them in a more effective way. Matteo Rizzato is a professional coach, certified in NLP New Code. His passion for the discovery of mirror neurons has made him an experienced researcher of excellence in relational dynamics. He is a consultant for companies, schools, sportspeople and top managers, as well as the founder of Come Allo Specchio (Like a Mirror) www.comeallospecchio.it Davide Donelli is a student at the University of Parma Medical School. His careful research and his desire to make themechanism of mirror neurons accessible to a widespread public brought him in touch with professor Giacomo Rizzolatti and Matteo Rizzato. This book is the result of their joined experiences. |
