Self Comes to Mind (book)

--- status: To Read date_finished: title: Self Comes to Mind subtitle: Constructing the Conscious Brain description: "‘Will give pleasure to anyone interested in original thinking about the brain...Breathtakingly original’ Financial Times The trailblazing investigation of a question that has confounded us for centuries: how is consciousness created? In Self Comes to Mind, world-renowned neuroscientist Antonio Damasio goes against the long-standing idea that consciousness is separate from the body, presenting compelling new scientific evidence that consciousness - what we think of as a mind with a self - is in fact a biological process created by a living organism. His view entails a radical change in the way the history of the conscious mind is viewed and told, suggesting that the brain’s development of a human self is a challenge to nature’s indifference. Groundbreaking ideas and beautifully written, this is essential reading for anyone curious about the foundations of mind and self." categories: - Science - Non-fiction - Personal Development authors: - [[Antonio Damasio]] published_on: 2011-08-31 publisher: Random House pages: 374 isbn: 1446493857 cover: http://books.google.com/books/content?id=2ILun_SB4NIC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api local_cover: 50 Resources/51 Attachments/51.03 Public/Self Comes to Mind (book).jpg link: https://amzn.to/3C5qlZy tags: - type/book - books - summaries - brain - neuroscience - zone/areas - zone/areas/literature_notes created: 2025-01-12T10:03 updated: 2026-04-01T14:44 public_note: true --- # Self Comes to Mind (book) - Author(s): [[Antonio Damasio]] - Link: https://amzn.to/3C5qlZy ![[50 Resources/51 Attachments/51.03 Public/Self Comes to Mind (book).jpg|200]] ## Description ## Quotes  ## Key ideas ... ## Chapter 1: ... ... ## References -
