Product Description

Book Description

Can we be conscious of our consciousness? What doesconsciousness feel like? Is it really a stream of steadily flowing thoughts,images and feelings, or something else altogether? What happens in those lapsesduring highway driving, in which you have no memory of the last 10 kilometres?How is it that most of what goes on in our brains is actually unconscious?And, in the end, do we even need our brain?

Jay Ingram, renowned science broadcaster and bestselling author,takes us on his most challenging and controversial journey yet—a look at thestate of consciousness. Mixing science, philosophy, history and pop culture,Ingram transforms grey matter into a brilliantly hued, completely understandableexploration of what’s really going on in our conscious and unconscious minds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Science is fun!, Nov 20 2005

By	Maria J. Hoeffer (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Only a writer with such a keen eye as Ingram could turn science talk about the mind into an engaging read. The beauty of this book lies in the footnotes. Jay Ingram has a dry wit that while generally tamed for the main words of this book, erupts in the footnotes. This read is highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read., Sep 1 2009

By	Isaac Lues (Calgary Ab.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book changed the way I think about consciousness and reality. It has been years since I read it and I still can't stop thinking about it.
I don't normally buy books that I've rented from the library, but this is a must have in my personal collection.
