Summary: For the most part bodies have been neglected and ignored in psychology, thought of merely as a taxi for the mind, dwarfed by the study of observable behaviour, of action and agency, motivation and performance, or of cognition and emotion. 'Embodied' is a fascinating guide to how we experience our bodies and how our bodies experience the world.
The ten neglected senses -- Balance -- Movement -- Pressure -- Breathing -- Fatigue -- Pain -- Itch -- Temperature -- Appetite -- Expulsion -- Embodied and embedded.
