Talking to Anil Seth for my audio series helped further deepen and refine my understanding of how the experience of self is constructed. Enjoy this fascinating excerpt from his new book, Being You (and then read the book!):

I’m proud to share a discussion of my book by the wonderful Maria Popova on her “Brain Pickings” blog!
I spoke with Scott about why I wrote CONSCIOUS, the hard problem, the function of consciousness, free will, and other topics.
I recently recorded two (!) conversations with George Musser for my audio series. We talked about the brain’s perception of space and to what extent our conscious experience is giving us an accurate sense of what’s “out there.” In his book, Spooky Action at a Distance, he discusses the related implications of M-Theory and AdS/CFT duality—enjoy this excerpt from his fascinating book!
I’m happy to announce that I’m currently working on a documentary podcast series about consciousness—featuring audio from my recent conversations with prominent scientists and philosophers such as Sean Carroll, Daniel Chamovitz, David Eagleman, Brian Greene, Philip Goff, Adam Frank, Donald Hoffman, Janna Levin, Christof Koch, Susan Blackmore, Lee Smolin, Anil Seth, George Musser, and others.
The project will take about a year to complete, but I’ll continue to announce updates on my website and on social media. Thanks for staying tuned!
