BAUER, Joachim: „Warum ich fühle, was du fühlst. Intuitive Kommunikation und das Geheimnis der Spiegelneurone“, München 2006
Viele Reaktion unseres Gegenübers ahmen wir nach. Joachim Bauer beweist uns dieses Verhalten an Hand der Spiegelneuronen. Natürlich ist die Titelformulierung „Ich fühle, was du fühlst“ übertrieben und reißerisch, aber das Buch zeigt doch Einiges zum Verhalten in der Kommunikation auf.

This book rhymed well after my previous readings on mimetic theory (Rene Girard, etc). It is a short and easy to read book, what will introduce you to neurobiology and mirror neurons. You can read about profound ideas observations of how our human mind works: how small kids learn, how people came to create languages, how do we form our identities. Also you will read about other important concepts through the view of mirror neurons, like the brutal results of excommunication, effects of schooling on kids, and even how love and flirt "works". My favorite chapters are the last two ones, which are connected closely to philosophy: one is about free will and the other is about mirroring as driver of evolution. I have read the Hungarian translation. Recommended read!

Ein sehr interessantes, gut geschriebenes und vor allem auch für Laien leicht verständliches Grundlagenbuch über das Phänomen der neuronalen Resonanz und Spiegelung.

Empfehlung für alle, die sich für menschliches Verhalten sowie zwischenmenschliche Bindungen aus Sicht der Biologie und Neurowissenschaft interessieren.

Der Grund? Brutale Killerspiele.

Sehr aufschlussreiches Buch. Etwas Vorwissen kann für das Lesetempo & -verständnis förderlich sein. Verschachtelte Sätze musste ich teilweise 2-3 Mal lesen.

Mir persönlich viel zu wissenschaftlich geschrieben und für mich als Laie, somit recht unverständlich an vielen Stellen, man kommt dadurch auch nicht so in einen lesefluss weil man manches doppelt lesen muss.

Once you read this book, you can’t unsee examples of it everywhere.

It is strange that we need a book to discover what is so apparent in our everyday life : We can feel what others feel.

But maybe this enlightment is so new to many people, because they are not quite in touch with their own feelings. Because, if I am unaware of my OWN feelings, how could I feel the emotions OTHERS are sending out.

Do we really need the theory of mirror neurons to actually EXPERIENCE and acknowledge, that there is PURE LOVE FLOWING when the new-born child sends his first smile to mother, when it falls asleep in peace once it is in the arms of her ?

Do we really need a psychologist to remember us of the fact, that a kiss with the so desired person is shared in its tingling feeling and emotion of want ?

It seems so. And that is okay, beause empathy is an ability that needs to be trained in childhood, or else it will decay. Unless we remember again, for example by reading this book.


One certain thing I want to add is the way Bauer perceives computer games. He clearly condemns gaming and sees especially in ego-shooters the potential of training killers.
hundrets of millions of folks all over the world are gambling video games, but why don't we have hundrets of millions killers ?

I do agree that computer games are used to train american soldiers, to train their see-and-shoot reflexes. But how come average guys don't shoot each other after gaming shooters ?
Could it be that a person is more than the trained reflexes ? Could it be that gamers can actually differenciate between real life and video games ?

How come that millions of people around the world learn martial arts like Kung Fu, but never actually attack someone with those killer moves they learn ?


Clearly Bauer is becoming quite much a populist on certain topics, disregarding many aspects and counter arguments, seemingly in order to condemn what he doesn't understand.
