As concise and enlightening as Seven Brief Lessons on Physics. and Astrophysics for People in a Hurry. , this mind-expanding dive into the mystery of consciousness is an illuminating meditation on the self, free will, and felt experience. What is consciousness. How does it arise. And why does it exist. We take our experience of being in the world for granted. But the very existence of consciousness raises profound questions: Why would any collection of matter in the universe be conscious. How are we able to think about this. And why should we. In this wonderfully accessible book, Annaka Harris guides us through the evolving definitions, philosophies, and scientific findings that probe our limited understanding of consciousness.
