The Forgotten Sense

Interoception, our “inner sense”, is the ability to perceive and understand our body’s signals. It's precisely what determines how we handle stress, how we care for our health, and how we understand our own emotions. In this groundbreaking book, journalist and science populariser Caroline Williams embarks on a journey into the body and mind, revealing how the connection between them can fundamentally affect our lives.

She combines insights from neuroscientists, psychologists, and doctors to show that consciously perceiving bodily signals helps to calm anxiety, improve sleep, reduce pain, and overcome unhealthy habits. From mindfulness and biofeedback to psychedelic therapy, A New Way of Feeling offers the latest findings on how to reconnect with your body and tune in to its wisdom.

This book is an invitation to rediscover your forgotten sense and, through it, find the path to a more balanced, healthier, and more fulfilling life.
