Conscious by Annaka Harris

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? Delving into the mystery of consciousness, this mind-expanding volume is a thought-provoking and illuminating meditation on the self, intelligence and the circuitry that appear to give rise to the certainty of experience.
