The premise of this book is based on the recognition that thought is an activity in human beings that (1) proceeds in a fragmented way and that (2) basically cannot be halted. We cannot opt out of thinking. The conclusion is that this accounts for human suffering, lack of direction, and chaos in daily actions and decisions. This leads to the further conclusion that thinking is not something we do, it is something that is being done in us.

The core concept of this illuminating book is that the core of human existence is self-consciousness. What we are depends on what choices we make and what we do. Dominant personality traits primarily drive our life decisions. In the fields of psychology, philosophy, biology, and artificial intelligence, self-awareness is studied. From a philosophical point of view, self-awareness reflects the apparent belief that a person is distinct from others as an entity and has his or her thoughts. It can also describe the awareness of one's own identity's very heart.
