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

<p>Neurologist and best-selling author <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Damasio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Antonio Damasio</a> is one of our most requested guests. This month we finally had the opportunity to talk about his newest book "<a href="https://amzn.to/3hQF511" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Feeling & Knowing: Making Minds Conscious</a>," 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.</p> <p>The key theme is that feelings and emotions are foundational aspects of Consciousness.</p> <p><strong>Links and References:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/3hQF511" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><em><strong>Feeling & Knowing: Making Minds Conscious</strong></em></a> by Antonio Damasio</li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/3c61NiV" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><em><strong>Self Comes to Mind</strong></em></a> by Antonio Damasio (<a href= "http://www.brainsciencepodcast.com/bsp/review-of-self-comes-to-mind-by-antonio-damasio-bsp-90.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BS 90</a>)</li> <li><a href= "https://dornsife.usc.edu/cf/faculty-and-staff/faculty.cfm?pid=1008328" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Antonio Damasio, MD, PhD</a>, Professor USC <ul> <li>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/damasiousc" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">@damasiousc</a></li> </ul> </li> <li>Please visit <a href= "http://brainsciencepodcast.com/">http://brainsciencepodcast.com</a> for additional references and episode transcripts.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Please Visit Our Sponsors</strong></div> <ul> <li><a title="TextExpander" href= "https://textexpander.com/podcast?utm_source=brainscience&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=textexpander-October-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>TextExpander</strong> at textexpander.com/podcast</a></li> </ul> <p><br /> <strong>Announcements:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Autographed co
