• Sommario/riassunto: This book explores the biomechanics of human communication, focusing on how systems thinking and feedback mechanisms influence communication processes. It examines the development of the human brain in relation to attachment experiences and discusses the role of feedback in regulating nervous systems. The book delves into the unconscious filters that bias communication, the mechanics of communication signals, and the connection between voice and heart in communication. It emphasizes communication as a behavioral transmitter and energy optimizer, highlighting the impact of social synchronization and nonverbal elements on communication abilities. The book targets researchers, educators, and students interested in communication, psychology, and neuroscience.
