Full Description
The Mind Economy redefines how we understand the mind—treating it as an economic system in which memory is a central and valuable resource. Integrating perspectives from psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, and economics, Professor Oliver Hoffmann introduces a groundbreaking framework for thinking about cognition, identity, and self-development. At the heart of the book lies the idea that memory, narration, and imagination are dynamic, exchangeable forces that structure our inner world and drive our decision-making processes.
Drawing on insights from ancient philosophy to modern neuroscience, Hoffmann outlines a new form of "economic cognitive therapy" and provides practical tools for self-regulation, emotional integration, and enhanced mental efficiency. Support systems such as yoga, meditation, and cultural immersion are woven into this model, offering readers a holistic path toward personal transformation. This book is essential reading for psychologists, therapists, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the mind's inner workings—and how to work with them.
