Interesting but way too brief

This book will make you think a lot about what exactly is consciousness and where it starts or ends. It will take your brain to some deep theories and give you a new outlook on the world and the universe. Thanks to this book I discovered the panpsychism theory which will live rent-free in my mind for quite some time and feed a lot of thoughts. However, while citing a lot of work, I did find this book sadly too short for the subject. While it states from the start that it is brief, I must admit I wish it took a bit more time to dig some parts deeper. Still, it will give you the chance to look at our conscious experience with brand-new eyes.
