This is a formulaic book that repeats tips found in every other book in the genre. As usual, it is more about how to be commercial and less about writing excellence. I will confess I didn’t make it all the way through. Why? Because the author shills her services and products in every chapter.

How does the brain generate a conscious thought? And why does so much of our knowledge remain unconscious? Thanks to clever psychological and brain-imaging experiments, scientists are closer to cracking this mystery than ever before. In this lively book, Stanislas Dehaene describes the pioneering work his lab and the labs of other cognitive neuroscientists worldwide have accomplished in defining, testing, and explaining the brain events behind a conscious state.

Narration is Displeasing, Author is Cocky
Revisado: 06-03-14
Would you try another book from Stanislas Dehaene and/or David Drummond?
A few hours into it, and it is hard going. The narrator talks too fast for me to be able to digest the scientific experiments that are being presented. His voice is like the narrator of a 1960's film strip. A very dated and radio-like presentation. The author comes off as a big smart ass who dismisses some of the work of others. I'm not enjoying this audiobook at all, even though I am interested in the subject and have a medical background.
Would you ever listen to anything by Stanislas Dehaene again?
No.
What didn’t you like about David Drummond’s performance?
Old fashioned AM radio voice. Speaks too fast. When run at a slower speed, the recording has an echo when played back on my current iPod Touch.
Was Consciousness and the Brain worth the listening time?
Reading the book might be okay. Listening, no.
