Consciousness and Self-Regulation: Advances in Research and Theory, Volume 3221 pp. "During the past several years the study of consciousness and volition has played an increasing role in behavioral science research. Consequently, researchers have been able to probe more deeply into the precise nature of mind - brain relations, aided by several philosophers' contributions on mind-brain identity. Consciousness And Self-Regulation provides a forum for the most up-to-date theory and research in this fascinating field of study. Volume 3 of this series presents some of the most important recent developments in consciousness research. The papers in this volume have been written by the leading investigators in the field and represent an interdisciplinary approach to the subject. Among the topics examined in this intriguing volume are conscious cognitive processing, event-related brain potentials in the study of consciousness, anxiety and fear, and meditation."Keywords: CONSCIOUSNESS PSYCHOLOGY SCIENCE NEUROSCIENCE

In the Preface to the third volume, we described the evolution of this Series and the changes that have taken place in the field since the first volume appeared. The contents of the current volume continue the com mitment to a broadly based perspective on research related to con sciousness and self-regulation which was embodied in the previous three volumes. Chapters are included which consider the role of con sciousness in cognitive theory and clinical phenomena. Several of the contributions to this volume are concerned with the nature of self-reg ulation and the role of conscious processing in the mediation of self regulated behavior. Most of the authors adopt a psychobiological ap proach to their subject matter. Our selection of contributors with a bias toward this approach reflects our own views that the psychobiological approach is a very fruitful one and that the "architecture" of the nervous system places important constraints on the types of theories that are possible in this emerging area. While the subject matter of the chapters in this volume is quite diverse, the contributions are united by their emphasis on the impor tance of consciousness and/or self-regulation in the understanding of behavior and experience. We have selected what we believe is repre sentative of the best theory and research in the diverse areas which bear on the theme of this series, maintaining a balance between basic and clinical research.

To claim one's place at the fire means to live ones life on purpose. When we claim our place at the fire, we enter into the circle of vital elders who have been the source of wisdom in society since time immemorial. We do this by courageously reexamining and rediscovering who we are, where we belong, what we care about, and what our life's purpose is. —from the introduction If you're in, or about to enter, "the second half of life, " this practical guide will show you how to claim your rightful place among the "new elders"—men and women who “use the second half of life as an empty canvas, a blank page, a hunk of clay to be crafted on purpose.” Through inspiring stories and thought-provoking exercises, you'll learn to ask, and answer, four key questions: Who am I? How do I stoke the wisdom gained in the first half of my life to burn more brightly in the second half? Where do I belong? What makes a place the right place for me in the second half? What do I care about? Where do I want to use my gifts and talents in the second half? What is my purpose? How do I leave a legacy that has real meaning for myself and my loved ones? This book provides a new model for vital aging. It shows you how to age successfully by living on purpose.
