Discovering the meaning of states of consciousness has never been so simple. In this volume we review the main currents of thought that have scientifically studied the stages of consciousness. From the first attempts at definition to empirical studies, up to the implications of physiological psychology and neuroscience. The first part of this guide takes you by the hand and accompanies you in your search for the meaning and purpose of consciousness. From awareness to sleep, from dreams to attentive abilities. The second part of the volume is dedicated to the more everyday and practical aspects, passing from the influence of biological rhythms to relaxation and much more. All this through a simple, fast and essential style of discourse. The book ends with a small self-assessment test that allows the reader to review and fix the main concepts. Forget the thousands of pages long or prohibitively expensive psychology manuals and start exploring how your mind works through a series of guides at unbeatable prices.
### THE COLLECTION ###
Psychology made simple is a collection of simple, clear and ready-to-use texts dedicated to the functioning of the human mind, whose lowest common denominator is the practicality and immediacy of its contents. From work contexts to family life, from relationships with others in search of a personal balance, everyone will be able to find answers and satisfy their own desire to know, without going beyond what is necessary to deal with more complex issues.

Introduction
What the man in the street commonly refers to as consciousness is clear to all, but at the same time it remains one of life's greatest mysteries.
Just think how many subjects and disciplines were first founded and then developed on this phenomenon, without reaching universally accepted conclusions.
Philosophy, religion, physiology, biology and last but not least, psychology have probed the subject in depth, providing part of the answers and beginning to elevate the subject from the basis of mystery and superstition that has long characterized the whole question.
But despite all the studies carried out so far, even today it is still difficult to give a definition of consciousness, while numerous differences and misunderstandings remain according to the methodological point of view and the tools used.
This volume was created to inform the reader of the main discoveries, theories and information on the subject, resulting from research in the psychological field.
