Exceptional: a lucid and thought-provoking dive into consciousness

This is the first book I have read on consciousness that remains grounded in a plausible scientific way of thought throughout. Others I have read jump off the deep end of 'and now magic happens'.

Seth is very good at laying out the landscape of current theories, and then clearly stating his own view. I find his theory that consciousness is deeply connected with our perception of internal the state of the body compelling and at least as plausible as any other.

The ideas come thick and fast in several chapters, but are always presented with great clarity.

Exceptional: read it.
