In The Mind within the Brain, A. David Redish offers a unified theory of human decision-making by bringing together research in psychology, robotics, economics, neuroscience, and the new fields of neuroeconomics and computational psychiatry. He shows how vulnerabilities in the decision-making system can lead to serious dysfunctions, such as irrational behavior, addictions, problem gambling, and PTSD. The book also covers larger philosophical questions of how mind and brain are related, what makes us human, the nature of morality, free will, and the conundrum of robotics and consciousness.
