Welcome to Litsy!

I started reading about NDE years ago. I watch documentaries and listen to podcasts about it. Atwater took a deep dive into studying it after having had her own NDE, and has written several books on the subject; her NDE is told in detail in her book ‘Coming Back to Life‘. This new book has got to be one of the best I‘ve ever read on the subject as she goes into a lot of detail about culture, science, metaphysics, and more. Fascinating!

If you're interested in the subject matter, watch the author's TED talk instead. She offers nothing of particular value in either platform, but at least the TED talk will save you a lot of time. #2025Book50

A quick read that‘s fascinating and easy to absorb.

An accessible read about how our brains process information and store it. An interesting read after recently finishing a book on Alzheimer‘s disease. The brain is fascinating!

My book recommendations versus your book recommendations by James Folta: https://lithub.com/my-book-recommendations-versus-your-book-recommendations/

Short and concise book on mind and consciousness.

I liked the emphasis on homeostasis, the definition of mind and mental images, and the distinction between mind and consciousness.

Pretty sure I got these at the local book swap. Can‘t remember when though. Love a good dvd when I‘m out of sorts.

This is amazingly philosophical. It addresses the neurology behind in-groups and out-groups. It clearly lays out the ways perception is entirely inside of our brains, and even how by the time we are aware of any given moment, that moment has already passed. Eagleman takes a profoundly complex topic and makes it accessible to the masses to the point that it becomes entirely enjoyable.
