Conscious

Conscious (Annaka Harris)

  • Had very high expectations, but was disappointed… Almost all quotes from other people about stuff I had already heard.
  • Our experience of consciousness is so intrinsic to who we are that we rarely notice that something mysterious is going on.
  • This book is devoted to shaking up our everyday assumptions about the world we live in. Some facts are so important and so counter-intuitive that we need to recall them again and again, until they finally permeate our thinking.
  • What is consciousness for ?
  • WE seem to be left without answers to the two questions with which we began this investigation: When we look closely we cant find reliable external evidence of consciousness. No can we conclusively point to any specific function it serves.
