Recensioni
Not a bad book. Very lyrical and poetic. In it the author digs deep in a grief inspired journey through eternity and the nature of consciousness and reality, you name it. He considers many questions I’ve pondered my whole life. It was interesting. He retells a number of ancient Greek myths and adds so Leggi tutto
The deeper I got into this book, the more I skimmed. Nothing Paul Broks was saying was sticking in my mind. Nothing. He appeared to be searching for meaning . . . I think . . . but all I felt was meaninglessness while reading. Three stars for a neutral rating. I quit reading. (Note: I received a free Leggi tutto
I got a review copy of this from First To Read . The description (First line: "Paul Broks weaves together imaginative stories of everything from artificial intelligence to the Greek philosophers in order to sketch a beautiful, inimitable view of humanness that is as heartbreaking at it is affirming."

I absolutely loved this book. I loved the mix of fiction, nonfiction, and memoir. It created the kind of edge in words that we live on every day in our minds. Broks perfectly captures the winding labyrinth of the mind and its thoughts, dreams, fantasies. I really enjoyed being able to return to this Leggi tutto
Does life have meaning if we die? The Being of the now that leads to consciousness is it the ‘hard problem’? Is there a ‘self’ over time, does the question even make sense or is the ship of Theseus not a paradox. Is my partner a Zombie with 15% probability as the author implies with a vignette?

I didn't enjoy this book as much as I expected to - but it's still a very good one, aside from some hiccups. Broks is at his best in the autobiographic chapters, passages and moments, writing starkly, honestly, and bittersweet-ly. The rest of the book is given over, mostly, to neurological/philosophi Leggi tutto
বইটি মূলতঃ লেখকের স্ত্রী ক্যান্সারে মারা যাবার পর লিখেছেন লেখক। লেখক পেশায় নিউরোসাইকোলজিস্ট। জীবন, মৃত্যু, চেতনা ইত্যাদি বিষয়কে নিউরোসাইকোলজিস্ট এর দৃষ্টিকোণ থেকে লিখেছেন তিনি। বইটি স্ত্রীর মৃত্যুতে কাতর ব্যক্তির এলোমেলো লেখনির বহিঃপ্রকাশ বলে আমার মনে হয়েছে। ছোট ছোট আর্টিক্যালগুলো পড়তে খারাপ লাগে Leggi tutto
A really innovative book about the nature of consciousness. Rather than just try to answer the question of consciousness directly, Broks uses illustrations from different sources to touch on the answer from many angles. It is at one time both biological, cultural, personal and individual. It is one
The idea of weaving mythology, fiction, nonfiction and clinical study notes is an intriguing one, especially when it comes to the mind and consciousness, but I failed to grasp the message Brok was trying to portray which made it difficult to read. The shifts from one topic to another or one theory t Leggi tutto
