This ground-breaking book presents a revolutionary new synthesis for the science of mind and behaviour. The book explains how behaviour and mental processes are unified within a single system of psychological homeostasis. A new Law of Equilibrium holds that mind and behaviour persistently strive towards safety, security and stability. The book creates a unified approach for the entire psychology discipline free from the divisions of a problematic past. The author and a select group of highly qualified contributors present psychology as a full-blooded natural science with axioms, laws and empirically supported principles. Any person and any library with an interest in how the mind works will find here a fascinating story and gripping analyses of motivation, feelings, emotions, habits, addictions, stress, altruism, well-being, trauma, paranormal experiences, waking and sleep. The volume catalogues unprecedented levels of empirical support for a psychological theory with a 97.4 percent rate of prediction from an array of well-documented contributions.
