Interesting and engaging

I found the topic interesting and engaging but the narration was monotone and not well delivered. It was not horrible but could have been more conversational.

Superstitious nonsense pretending it's science

The title says it all. This was a book of woo-woo trying really had to be a science book. I would not recommend it to anyone interested in science.

Superficial, old thinking, inconsistent. Writer’s hidden agenda?

The book attacks the idea where Consciousness comes only from the brain. Agree. Science still has not an answer but guesses on that.
But that’s true for many other science enigmas.

Problem is that on this unknown, the author, superficially states subtly possible conclusions that repeated on and on, like a Goebbels’ speech, ends up in wildly simplified concepts like “I and God…God and I… are the same”.

It’s old thinking because mentions research or quotes from 1930, ‘50 or ‘70. Specially concerning in areas like Psychology, Physics or Ethics, where there was a lot of advance in defining what we know or at least what we don’t. Example: Physicist now know that the matter at atomic level it’s way more complex like just atoms and electrons; but claim saying there’s a only empty space in the molecule it’s ignorance what, yes, we learn from the ‘90, when the tunnel effect microscope was invented.

Inconsistency because it use a overwhelming Casuistic approach when simultaneously mentioned statistics almost cited on argument convenience approach. But furthermore, like a somewhat methodological protective “umbrella”, often labelled Casuistic, as stats “anomalies “ that merits further research “to be confirmed.
(I think such an ample cautionary statement, you can even venture saying that the author’s Mom was virgin, as mine too)

Hidden Agenda. I tried to research about the author’s career and achievements. I don’t have the CIA or FBI resources. I’m a normal average guy with limited time just trying healthy Critical Thinking to filter who and why something was written before putting those ideas in my mind as valid.
No, I couldn’t find the author’s resume, like we all have one. Only found a 12 lines Press Release alike summary.
Even worst mentioning the Thesis topic, mentioned that he wrote on a Nobel Prize topic. So if you read carelessly, you’d read that he coauthored or shared the Nobel Prize.

Finally, he quotes tirelessly all time the same “bunch” of professionals, and every time their degrees or unrelated achievements. We have so many examples of Phds or Astronauts, writing so many weird things. The author even quotes Allan Turing on a very random quote very unrelated with his courageous genial career.

Maybe I am wrong, but for me this author a very successful book to make money.
So, if the author just wrote a best seller to make money, he deserves respect.
Because this book is a money maker.

Ps: I venture that the author’s consciousness is not in his brain (like he confirmed; his consciousness is probably located in his chest; right close to his WALLET.

Narrator is beyond bad

I was really looking for to the content but just can not get past the narration and or the way it was written.
The whole book is a quote as stated at the beginning, so why must ever line begin and end with “quote, end quote”. Just can not bare this…deleted.
