I just finished reading Self Comes to Mind by Antonio Damasio.
It wasn't an easy read......not for me.
It took quite a while to read it cover to cover but....... It was well worth the time and attention I gave to it.
Antonio gives a very detailed account of how our sense of self arises out of our brain.
He gives an anatomical basis for the illusion we call I.
It is a very fascinating read. I found another new way of looking at myself.
With each book I read my understanding evolves another step.
I liked the Appendix. It gives an excellent description of brain architecture and how it works.
