A GUARDIAN, THE ECONOMIST, NEW STATESMAN, FINANCIAL TIMES & BLOOMBERG BOOK OF THE YEAR Being you is not as simple as it sounds.

After more than twenty years researching the brain, neuroscientist Anil Seth puts forward a radical new theory of consciousness, challenging our understanding of perception and reality and turning what you thought you knew about yourself on its head.
