Six Confessions of the Self-Serving Brain - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

• Some questions you might have asked yourself—or perhaps not—until right now!

• Does the world—which seems to be ‘out there’—exist only in my brain?
• How do thoughts come about?
• What determines my everyday experience?
• Who, or what, is the real me?
• Is my experience of reality only virtual?
• Do animals have consciousness?
• Why are we so passionate about sex?
• Why is pain important?
• If my brain controls me, can I be held responsible for what I do?
• What are the unresolved mysteries of conscious experience?

Six Confessions provides answers to these questions in a concise, accessible and entertaining way. For the first time the brain owns up to the illusions, confusions and delusions it has contrived ever since the beginnings of human consciousness. You will never think about your brain or mind in the same way again.
