書籍簡介

Parents, friends, teachers, relatives, and even work colleagues - from the people close to us to those we never even meet - other people are constantly shaping who we are.

The mirror neuron is a part of the brain that has shaped each and every one of us throughout our lifetimes. It is the very essence of what makes us human, but most of us have never even heard of it.

Mirror Thinking explores how the mirror neuron has defined us through the role models we observe and interact with. All of the learning we take from our world is down to our brain's mirror system, but it doesn't stop there. This incredible system is also responsible for our emotional connections with others, how we pass on learning between the generations through stories, and how we imagine and innovate within our own minds.

In Mirror Thinking, psychologist and award-winning author Fiona Murden looks at the mirrors that have shaped our lives: parents, friends, teachers, relatives, and even work colleagues. From the people close to us to those we never even meet - other people are constantly shaping who we are. By having a better understanding of this system we are able to take conscious control of it, encouraging us to have a more positive impact on the world around us and on society as a whole.

父母、朋友、老師、親戚、甚至工作同事--從我們身邊的人到我們甚至從未見過的人--其他人在不斷塑造我們。

鏡像神經元是大腦的一部分，在我們一生中塑造了我們每一個人。它是使我們成為人類的根本原因，但我們大多數人甚至從未聽説過它。

《鏡像思考》探討了鏡像神經元如何通過我們觀察和互動的榜樣來定義我們。我們從我們的世界中獲得的所有學習都歸功於我們大腦的鏡像系統，但它並沒有停止。這個令人難以置信的系統還負責我們與他人的情感聯繫，我們如何通過故事在幾代人之間傳遞學習，以及我們如何在自己的頭腦中進行想象和創新。

在《鏡像思考》中，心理學家和獲獎作家菲奧娜-默登審視了塑造我們生活的鏡子：父母、朋友、老師、親戚，甚至工作同事。從我們身邊的人到那些我們甚至從未見過的人--其他人不斷地塑造着我們是誰。通過更好地瞭解這個系統，我們能夠有意識地控制它，鼓勵我們對我們周圍的世界和整個社會產生更積極的影響。

作者簡介

菲奧娜-穆爾登是一名特許心理學家，英國心理學會副研究員，作家和富有激情的公共演講者。在過去的18年裏，菲奧娜一直與精英合作：來自各行業、體育、商業和政治的高績效人士，幫助他們實現*績效。她對英國、美國、歐洲和亞太地區的高級領導人進行剖析，以評估他們的適應性、優勢以及與他們被僱用的角色有關的風險。她還擔任各行各業的執行委員會的教練和顧問。

在她獲獎的第一本書《定義你》中，菲奧娜的目標是開始使心理學家為社會的*邊緣提供的行為支持過程民主化，使人們能夠在日常生活中使用它，幫助人們更好地瞭解自己和他人。其結果是改善身體和精神健康、幸福和更優化的潛力水平。

在她的第二本書《鏡像思考》中，菲奧娜利用她作為心理學家的經驗和洞察力，使我們能夠利用鏡像系統來發揮我們的優勢。菲奧娜以一種真實和可親的方式解讀了該系統背後的心理學原理。讀者將獲得有意識地利用這些知識的技能，並對這個不可思議的系統進行更多的控制。她還探討了該系統更廣泛的社會影響，包括社交媒體和名人的影響，並考慮了它對當今年輕人口的影響。最後，菲奧娜探討了如何才能成為別人的好榜樣。如果人們以你為鏡子，你希望別人不要重複哪些事情？你又希望看到別人的行為對你產生什麼影響？

除了寫作、演講和經營她在2007年成立的Aroka有限公司外，菲奧娜還是慈善機構Dot-to-Dot的創始人--"連接人類行為的點"。她熱衷於增加對我們思維方式的理解，使我們所有人都能發揮自己的真正潛力，並最終對肥胖、恐怖主義和心理健康等全球問題產生積極而重大的影響。

Fiona Murden is as a Chartered Psychologist, Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society, author and stimulating public speaker. Fiona has worked with the elite: high performers from across industries, sport, business and politics for the last 18 years, helping them to achieve optimal performance. She profiles senior leaders in the UK, USA, Europe and Asia Pacific to assess their fit, strengths and the risks in relation to the role that they are being hired for. She also acts as coach and advisor to executive boards across a broad range of industries.

In her award winning first book, Defining You, Fiona aims to begin to democratise the process of behavioural support that psychologists offer to the more extreme edges of society making it accessible for people in their daily lives helping people to better understand themselves and others. The outcome being improved physical and mental health, happiness and a more optimised level of potential.

Her second book Mirror Thinking, Fiona uses her experience and insight as a psychologist to empower us to leverage the mirror system to our advantage. Fiona unpacks the psychological principles behind the system in a real and relatable way. Readers are given the skills to consciously harness this knowledge and take more control over this incredible system. She also explores the broader societal implications of the system, including the influence of social media and celebrities, and considers the impact it is having on the younger population of today. Finally, Fiona looks at what it takes to be a great role model to others. If people are mirroring you, what are the things you’d prefer others not to repeat? And what do you want to see played back to you in someone else’s behaviour?

In addition to her writing, speaking and running the company she established in 2007, Aroka Ltd, Fiona is founder of the charity Dot-to-Dot - ‘joining the dots on human behaviour’. She is passionate about increasing understanding of how our minds work, to empower all of us to reach our true potential and to ultimately enable a positive and significant impact on global issues such as obesity, terrorism and mental health.
