Über diesen Titel

2020 Audie Finalist

As concise and enlightening as Seven Brief Lessons on Physics and Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, this mind-expanding dive into the mystery of consciousness is an illuminating meditation on the self, free will, and felt experience.

What is consciousness? How does it arise? And why does it exist? We take our experience of being in the world for granted. But the very existence of consciousness raises profound questions: Why would any collection of matter in the universe be conscious? How are we able to think about this? And why should we?

In this wonderfully accessible audiobook, Annaka Harris guides us through the evolving definitions, philosophies, and scientific findings that probe our limited understanding of consciousness. Where does it reside, and what gives rise to it? Could it be an illusion, or a universal property of all matter? As we try to understand consciousness, we must grapple with how to define it and, in the age of artificial intelligence, who or what might possess it.

Conscious offers lively and challenging arguments that alter our ideas about consciousness—allowing us to think freely about it for ourselves, if indeed we can.

Annaka Harris’s first book, *Conscious: A Brief Guide to the Fundamental Mystery of the Mind*, is a concise yet profound exploration of consciousness-one of science’s greatest puzzles. Harris skillfully introduces readers to the “hard problem” of consciousness, questioning how subjective experience arises from physical processes and whether consciousness might be a fundamental property of the universe rather than just a byproduct of the brain

She covers philosophical concepts like panpsychism and the illusion of self, drawing on neuroscience, meditation, and thought experiments to challenge our assumptions. The book is accessible to newcomers but also offers clarity and fresh perspectives for those familiar with the topic. Harris’s writing is clear and thought-provoking, making complex ideas approachable and inviting readers to question the very nature of their own awareness.

Overall, *Conscious* is a stimulating read that encourages deep reflection on what it means to be conscious, making it a valuable introduction and companion for anyone curious about the mind.

The longest to read short book

Very dense with profound intuition-cutting thoughts. I'll listen to it again in the future. We live in the most exciting times where we might have a chance to understand consciousness.

Very interesting
