Book excerpt: Consciousness is our gateway to experience: it enables us to recognize Van Gogh’s starry skies, be enraptured by Beethoven’s Fifth, and stand in awe of a snowcapped mountain. Yet consciousness is subjective, personal, and famously difficult to examine: philosophers have for centuries declared this mental entity so mysterious as to be impenetrable to science. In The Ravenous Brain, neuroscientist Daniel Bor departs sharply from this historical view, and builds on the latest research to propose a new model for how consciousness works. Bor argues that this brain-based faculty evolved as an accelerated knowledge gathering tool. Consciousness is effectively an idea factory—that choice mental space dedicated to innovation, a key component of which is the discovery of deep structures within the contents of our awareness. This model explains our brains’ ravenous appetite for information—and in particular, its constant search for patterns. Why, for instance, after all our physical needs have been met, do we recreationally solve crossword or Sudoku puzzles? Such behavior may appear biologically wasteful, but, according to Bor, this search for structure can yield immense evolutionary benefits—it led our ancestors to discover fire and farming, pushed modern society to forge ahead in science and technology, and guides each one of us to understand and control the world around us. But the sheer innovative power of human consciousness carries with it the heavy cost of mental fragility. Bor discusses the medical implications of his theory of consciousness, and what it means for the origins and treatment of psychiatric ailments, including attention-deficit disorder, schizophrenia, manic depression, and autism. All mental illnesses, he argues, can be reformulated as disorders of consciousness—a perspective that opens up new avenues of treatment for alleviating mental suffering. A controversial view of consciousness, The Ravenous Brain links cognition to creativity in an ingenious solution to one of science’s biggest mysteries.

Book excerpt: “Persuasive, impassioned. . . hopeful news [for those] suffering from functional bowel disease.” — New York Times Book Review Dr. Michael Gershon’s groundbreaking book fills the gap between what you need to know—and what your doctor has time to tell you. Dr. Michael Gershon has devoted his career to understanding the human bowel (the stomach, esophagus, small intestine, and colon). His thirty years of research have led to an extraordinary rediscovery: nerve cells in the gut that act as a brain. This "second brain" can control our gut all by itself. Our two brains—the one in our head and the one in our bowel—must cooperate. If they do not, then there is chaos in the gut and misery in the head—everything from "butterflies" to cramps, from diarrhea to constipation. Dr. Gershon's work has led to radical new understandings about a wide range of gastrointestinal problems including gastroenteritis, nervous stomach, and irritable bowel syndrome. The Second Brain represents a quantum leap in medical knowledge and is already benefiting patients whose symptoms were previously dismissed as neurotic or "it's all in your head."

Book excerpt: INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER A Best Book of 2021—Bloomberg Businessweek; A Best Science Book of 2021—The Guardian; A Best Science Book of 2021—Financial Times; A Best Philosophy Book of 2021—Five Books; A Best Book of 2021—The Economist Anil Seth's quest to understand the biological basis of conscious experience is one of the most exciting contributions to twenty-first-century science. What does it mean to “be you”—that is, to have a specific, conscious experience of the world around you and yourself within it? There may be no more elusive or fascinating question. Historically, humanity has considered the nature of consciousness to be a primarily spiritual or philosophical inquiry, but scientific research is now mapping out compelling biological theories and explanations for consciousness and selfhood. Now, internationally renowned neuroscience professor, researcher, and author Anil Seth is offers a window into our consciousness in BEING YOU: A New Science of Consciousness. Anil Seth is both a leading expert on the neuroscience of consciousness and one of most prominent spokespeople for this relatively new field of science. His radical argument is that we do not perceive the world as it objectively is, but rather that we are prediction machines, constantly inventing our world and correcting our mistakes by the microsecond, and that we can now observe the biological mechanisms in the brain that accomplish this process of consciousness. Seth has been interviewed for documentaries aired on the BBC, Netflix, and Amazon and podcasts by Sam Harris, Russell Brand, and Chris Anderson, and his 2017 TED Talk on the topic has been viewed over 11 million times, a testament to his uncanny ability to make unimaginably complex science accessible and entertaining.

Book excerpt: LOOK HERE: Know What Makes Your "Second Brain" Tick & Stay Healthy For Life Using This Book To Brain & Gut Health! Did you know that you have a "second brain" hidden in the walls of your digestive system? Your second brain is your gut, and it wields far more power over your physical, emotional, and mental health than you think! Your gut, known scientifically as the enteric nervous system (ENS), houses two thin membranes lined with over 100 million nerve cells that stretch from your oesophagus to your rectum. Its role is to regulate your digestion, including swallowing, releasing digestive enzymes, controlling nutrient absorption, and eliminating waste. Unlike your main brain, your gut isn't capable of reason. However, it does a pretty great job at communicating back and forth with your main brain, and may trigger great emotional shifts whenever you experience irritation in your gastrointestinal system, such as functional bowel disorder and irritable bowel syndrome. The problem is that not a lot of people know this fact, which leads them taking their guts' health for granted. And when you don't look after your gut, your overall health is going to be in a lot of trouble! Luckily for you, there's now a solution. Let me introduce you "Your Second Brain" by Leo Carter. In his book, you will learn why your gut controls you more than you think, and find out why it's the key to your health and happiness! Over the course of this life-changing book, you will: Successfully keep diseases and illnesses at bay with PROVEN tips to keep your second brain healthy Greatly boost your memory and productivity using FOOLPROOF ways to keep your second brain fit Significantly improve your gut health whatever lifestyle you lead by knowing what foods to eat and avoid Fast effectively and strengthen your immune system using various FIELD-TESTED fasting methods Efficiently use the BEST prebiotics, probiotics, and psychobiotics to your advantage and enhance your gut health for life Effectively enhance your diet and maximize on your exercise routines by finding out your core areas to work on And so much more! A happy, healthy gut regulates inflammation successfully, leading to less aches and pains, a boost in mental clarity, energy, and motivation, as well as better-looking skin.

However, a healthy gut does lead to diminished symptoms, reduced risk of chronic illnesses, and increased general feeling of health and wellness.
