3 Words Summarize Psychology: Mind, Brain, Culture

Prof. Dr Nevzat Tarhan states that people make decisions not only with their minds by reasoning but also with their emotions, passions and cultural values, and adds, “Three words summarize Psychology: mind, brain and culture. When these three come together, that’s what makes us human.”

Managing the Chemical Pharmacy in the Brain

Tarhan says, “We are not merely made up of feelings, nor merely of thoughts. The synthesis of the mind and heart is what makes up our culture. In fact, emotion management means the management of the chemical pharmacy in our brain. When a person manages their psychology well, it means that they are managing their brain chemistry well.”

The Importance of Mental Investment

Tarhan advises, “In order to achieve wisdom, one must add emotion to the mind. To do so, one needs to learn high moral values. We can expand our emotional and cognitive resources and investments by jointly using our emotions and our minds.”
