Conversations on Consciousness and the Bicameral Mind (Book Review)
Loretta Graziano Breuning, Ph.D., author of Habits of a Happy Brain, The Science of Positivity, and Status Games, August 2022.
The word “conscious” has become value-laden, making it harder to accept the limits of human consciousness. It’s helpful to know that our brain is designed to do much of its work outside of conscious awareness. The better we understand this, the better we can allocate the scarce resource that consciousness is. Conversations on Consciousness and the Bicameral Mind helps us understand humanity’s development of consciousness over millennia, as well as how we learn it in our first years of life.
