Summary
Parents, friends, teachers, relatives, and even work colleagues – from the people close to us to those we never even meet – other people are constantly shaping who we are.
The mirror neuron is a part of the brain that has shaped each and every one of us throughout our lifetimes. It is the very essence of what makes us human, but most of us have never even heard of it.
Mirror Thinking explores how the mirror neuron has defined us through the role models we observe and interact with. All of the learning we take from our world is down to our brain’s mirror system, but it doesn’t stop there. This incredible system is also responsible for our emotional connections with others, how we pass on learning between the generations through stories, and how we imagine and innovate within our own minds.
In Mirror Thinking, psychologist and award-winning author Fiona Murden looks at the mirrors that have shaped our lives. By having a better understanding of this system we are able to take conscious control of it, encouraging us to have a more positive impact on the world around us and on society as a whole.

Critic reviews
Written in an understandable, accessible way – exploring complex neuroscience and psychology with some wonderful case studies and examples that bring it all to life. It is a book that anyone will enjoy and learn from – what more can you ask for? (David Sole, former Scotland Rugby Captain and Managing Partner at the School for CEOs)
A very compelling and fascinating read. Fiona’s insights are incredibly useful both from a personal and professional standpoint, but also in the wider context of societal norms and our biases. (Brenda Trenowden CBE, Global Chair of the 30% Club)
Mirror Thinking, Fiona Murden’s investigation into role models and how we are influenced by others, takes a fresh look into our socially-networked world. She writes with panache and authority, and lightens the subject with her own personal touch. Mirror Thinking holds a mirror up to our behaviour, our world, and how we can change things for the better; it is solidly researched, engagingly presented and packed with fascinating insights. (Sir Dermot Turing, author of Prof: Alan Turing Decoded, trustee of the Turing Trust and the Bletchley Park Visiting Fellow at Kellogg College, Oxford.)

An interesting and thought provoking read.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I couldn’t put it down once I’d started reading it and once I finished I kept dipping back into it. It really made me think about what sort of role model I’m being to others. It has also made me realise why I behave in the way I do as I think back to the role models I had in my childhood. Although the book contains scientific matter the author writes about it in such a way that makes it accessible for all. It includes lots of fascinating facts and real life stories from Fiona’s life as well as a number of tales from the lives of more well known people which make it easy to relate to. I’d recommend this book if you’re looking for an interesting, thought provoking read.
