Charles Fernyhough (2016 Event)

Two years ago, authors at the Book Festival took part in a major
study into the multiple inner voices that make up human
consciousness. Now the leader of that project, psychologist
Charles Fernyhough, has completed a major book on the subject,
which he discusses with Richard Holloway in this event recorded
live at the 2016 Edinburgh International Book Festival. The
Voices Within weaves human anecdotes with research to demonstrate
how inner voices have a far more important role in consciousness
than science has previously acknowledged.
