ix, 307 pages : 25 cm, We all hear voices. Ordinary thinking is often a kind of conversation, filling our heads with speech: the voices of reason, of memory, of self-encouragement and rebuke, the inner dialogue that helps us with tough decisions or complicated problems. For others--voice-hearers, trauma-sufferers and prophets--the voices seem to come from outside: friendly voices, malicious ones, the voice of God or the Devil, the muses of art and literature. In The Voices Within, building on the latest theories, including the new 'dialogic thinking' model, and employing state-of-the-art neuroimaging and other ground-breaking research techniques, Fernyhough has written an authoritative and engaging guide to the voices in our heads, Originally published: United Kingdom : Profile Books, 2016, Includes bibliographical references and index, Funny slices of cheese -- Turning up the gas -- Inside the chatterbox -- Two cars -- A natural history of thinking -- Voices on the page -- Chorus of me -- Not I -- Different voices -- The voice of a dove -- A brain listening to itself -- A talkative muse -- Messages from the past -- A voice that doesn't speak -- Talking to ourselves
