About This Item
Synopsis
Antonio Damasio examines the biological roots of consciousness and its role in our survival in The Feeling of What Happens . How is it that we know what we know? How is it that our conscious and private minds have a sense of self? A gifted medical clinician and scientific thinker, Damasio helps readers to ask and answer questions about what it is to be human. His elegant investigation of feeling and emotion offers a new understanding of the conscious mind and, as the New York Times has noted, “will change your experience of yourself.”
Reviews
