Title: Overstated -- Don't waste your time or money
Review: This book is a mish-mash of introductory neuroscience, pseudo-philosophy and grand ideas that sum up to little more than another overstated work on consciousness. Unlike in his first book, "Decartes Error," Damasio writes with a grandiose and imprecise style leading the reader to believe that little more than speculation supports his points. If you are really curious to read this because everyone you know is talking about it, then check it out from the library. But do yourself the favor of spending money to buy it because in 5 months when the hoopla has died, reading this book will not even be useful for conversation at cocktail parties.
