Publisher's Summary:
The Self Illusion provides a fascinating examination of how the latest science shows that our individual concept of a self is in fact an illusion. Most of us believe that we possess a self - an internal individual who resides inside our bodies, making decisions, authoring actions and possessing free will. The feeling that a single, unified, enduring self inhabits the body is compelling and inescapable. But that sovereignty of the self is increasingly under threat from science as our understanding of the brain advances.
Critic Reviews:
Fascinating, timely and important ... Hood's presentation of the science behind our supersense is crystal clear and utterly engaging (New Scientist)
Wonderful. Illuminating. Full of insight, beauty, and humor. Get to know thyself (David Eagleman, author of Sum)
Startling and engrossing (Robin Ince)
