Noted neuroscientist Antonio Damasio has written a new book, Self Comes to Mind: Constructing the Conscious Brain, in which he expands on his past work, discussing  questions like: What is consciousness? How did it evolve? How it does it contribute to culture?

Damasio has done a couple interviews about Self Comes to Mind. Here are two I’ve found worth the read:

– The Los Angeles Times.

– Wired.

Enjoy.
