The World in Your Head

This work represents an assault on one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in science: the nature of consciousness and the human mind. Rather than examining the brain and nervous system to see what they tell us about the mind, this book begins with an examination of conscious experience.

"This powerful and inspiring book will fascinate those committed to psychological theory....Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals."—CHOICE
