书籍简介

人类的嗅觉——也就是嗅觉——使我们能够品味美食美酒，预警危险，并让我们的生活环境更加宜人。然而，嗅觉是我们最少被探索的感官系统之一。直到现在。

气味如同色彩，丰富着我们的人生体验。随便问问别人关于嗅觉的事，他们都会立刻滔滔不绝地讲起来。起初，人们会谈论食物和美酒，但很快就会转向个人话题：那些唤起童年回忆、逝去亲人记忆、怀孕、爱情和性爱的味道。当人们谈论嗅觉时，他们也向我们透露了一些关于他们自身、他们的感受、想法和人际关系的信息。因此，嗅觉不仅反映了我们外部的化学世界，也见证了我们的内心世界、我们的感受和想法。

《被遗忘的感官》探索了我们未知的心灵世界及其如何塑造人：为什么气味能够唤起如此强烈的记忆？体味究竟能在多大程度上左右你的爱情选择？人类的嗅觉究竟有多灵敏？这些问题在很多方面都处于我们认知的前沿，但乔纳斯·奥洛夫松博士多年来一直致力于研究我们最不为人知的感官——嗅觉。他发现，我们其实可以改善和提升嗅觉，将其发展成为一种更有用的工具，为生活带来更强烈的即时感受。

Summary

The Forgotten Sense: Unlocking the Power of Smell

Human olfaction – the sense of smell – enables us to appreciate food and drink, it warns us of dangers and it makes our environments more enjoyable. However, olfaction is one of our least explored sensory systems. Until now.

Smells and scents are the colour that enrich our experience of life. Ask anyone to reflect on their sense of smell, and they immediately start talking. First there are discussions about food and wine, but pretty quickly they move on to personal topics: about the smells that evoke memories of childhood, dead relatives, pregnancy, love and sex. When people talk about their sense of smell, they also tell us something about themselves, their feelings, thoughts and relationships. Thus, the sense of smell not only reflects the chemical world outside us, but also bears witness to our inner world, our feelings and thoughts.

The Forgotten Sense explores the unknown mind and how it shapes people: Why can smells evoke such strong memories? How much can body odors control who you fall in love with? How sensitive is the human sense of smell? In many ways these questions are on the very forefront of our understanding, but Dr Jonas Olofsson has spent years studying the least understood of our senses. And he has discovered that it is actually possible to improve and refine one’s sense of smell, to develop it into a more useful tool to bring a powerful immediacy to your life.
