BS 189 Antonio Damasio, author of "Feeling and Knowing"

Neurologist and best-selling author Antonio Damasio is one of our
most requested guests. This month we finally had the opportunity
to talk about his newest book "Feeling & Knowing: Making
Minds Conscious," which he explained is somewhat different from
his previous efforts. His goal was to write something "briefer"
and more accessible. Thus it is definitely a book that requires
no background in neuroscience.


The key theme is that feelings and emotions are foundational
aspects of Consciousness.
