How is it that our conscious and private minds have a sense of self? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this groundbreaking book, Damasio -- a renowned and revered scientist and clinician who spent decades following amnesiacs down hospital corridors, waiting for comatose patients to awaken, and devising ingenious research using PET scans to piece together the great puzzle of consciousness -- explores the biological roots of sentient awareness and its role in survival. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConsciousness is the feeling of what happens-our mind noticing the body's reaction to the world and responding to that experience. Without our bodies there can be no consciousness, which is at heart a mechanism for survival that engages body, emotion, and mind in the glorious spiral of human life. Linking body and emotion in an arresting and original study of what it is to be human, The Feeling of What Happens \"will change your experience of yourself\" (The New York Times).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Both Descartes Error and The Feeling of What Happens are essential reading. They are ground-breaking classics of psychology and neuroscience.\"--Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Antonio Damasio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0156010755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780156010757\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.03h x 6.01w x 1.05d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2000 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/03\/2000 pg. 109","brand":"Antonio Damasio","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44055084794111,"sku":"9780156010757","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c81016c5-a788-4c13-9e62-52e2d8bd3e65.jpg?v=1685033706","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-feeling-of-what-happens-antonio-damasio-9780156010757","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
