Anil Seths radical new theory of consciousness challenges our understanding of perception and reality, doing for brain science what Dawkins did for evolutionary biology.
Being You is not as simple as it sounds. Somehow, within each of our brains, billions of neurons work to create our conscious experience. How does this happen Why do we experience life in the first person After over twenty years researching the brain, worldrenowned neuroscientist Anil Seth puts forward a radical new theory of consciousness and self. His unique theory of what it means to be you challenges our understanding of perception and reality and it turns what you thought you knew about yourself on its head.
Seth thinks clearly and sharply on one of the hardest problems of science and philosophy, cutting through weeds with a scientists mind and a storytellers skill.
ADAM RUTHERFORD
A pageturner and a mindblower . . . Beautifully written, crystal clear, deeply insightful.

If you read one book about conciousness, it must be Seths.
