About this book
Von der Seele by Carl Ludwig Schleich beckons with probing, lyrical essays that fuse early 20th-century medical insight and philosophical wonder into a singular exploration of the human psyche. Schleich, a physician and thinker, surveys rhythm, humor, sleep and dreams, the subconscious, instincts and play, temperament, and even the skin as an organ of the soul, treating each topic with diagnostic curiosity and poetic observation.
These psychology essays move from the biological to the metaphysical without losing sight of lived experience: how rhythm underpins life, how music educates emotion, how pain and inhibition shape personality, and how faith and science wrestle for meaning. Schleich’s reflections on animal and human souls, wound healing, nutrition, and the subtle marks of expression—dimples and wrinkles—reveal a holistic, humane approach to mind-body questions that anticipated later psychosomatic thinking.
Ideal for listeners interested in psychology, history of ideas, and mind-body medicine, Von der Seele offers contemplative, thought-provoking writing that rewards attentive listening. Pick up this audiobook for a richly textured voyage through what it means to feel, heal, and be human.
