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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Being You is an engaging and accessible tour through the field’s boldest theories, most creative experiments and most surprising findings. You could give the book to a smart teenager and get them asking questions that they will be thinking about for the rest of their lives.”
Current Biology

“Whenever I hear that someone has found a new theory of consciousness, I start to lose my own… So when the latest would-be Einstein announces yet another theory, my eyes start to glaze over in anticipation of drivel and disappointment. Neuroscientist Anil Seth’s
Being You is the exception that proves the rule. If you only read one book about consciousness, it must be his…  An impressive work that handles complex issues with exceptional insight and beautiful clarity.”
—Julian Baggini, Wall Street Journal

“[Seth] tells us about the Japanese roboticist who builds ‘Geminoids’—robots as similar to human beings as possible, including one resembling himself, which delivered a 45-minute lecture to a large audience of students. It is a brilliant book…”
—Claire Tomalin, New York Times Book Review

"Exhilarating... a vast-ranging, phenomenal achievement that will undoubtedly become a seminal text." 
The Guardian

“Seth makes a convincing case that perception masquerades as conscious reality… Fluent and accessible.”
Financial Times

“Drawing on philosophy, biology, cognitive science, neuroscience and artificial intelligence, he argues that our brains are prediction machines that constantly invent our world and then correct our mistakes, so that our sense of self derives from our body.”
Nature
 
“Imaginative and compelling…”
Scientific American

“A fantastic exposition to a family of revolutionary ideas gaining increasing support both from neuroscience and artificial-intelligence research. It is a much-rewarding read, both for people familiar with the central questions of consciousness and the interested newcomer.”
World Literature Review

“Exhilarating, informed, passionate and provocative in equal measure—as much a groundbreaking work of philosophy as of science. It’s a book that lingers with you, while at the same time forcing you to rethink exactly who and what “you” are."
Research Professional News

“In lucid, engaging prose Seth deftly navigates long-standing philosophical debates over the nature of consciousness… awe-inspiring.”
New Statesman

“An accessible, unfailingly interesting look inside the workings of the human brain, celebrating its beguiling nature.”
Kirkus

“[Seth’s] extraordinary debut sets out his exhilarating new theory about how we experience the world.”
The Bookseller (Editor's Choice)

“[Anil Seth] takes on the prodigious task of defining consciousness and explaining its origins in this intense survey.”
Publishers Weekly

“One of the most authoritative voices in a central question of neuroscience: what is consciousness? His new book is a page-turner and a mind-blower. If you've ever wondered how billions of neurons chattering in the dark equate to your experience, start here...  Beautifully written, crystal clear, deeply insightful.”
David Eagleman, neuroscientist at Stanford University, author of Livewired and Incognito

“A brilliant beast of a book. A wide ranging synthesis pulling together disparate stands—from philosophy, science, literature, personal experience and speculation—this latter being the most exciting for me, despite some proposals being as yet unproven. Seth proposes to explain not just what and how we are, but probably provocative for some folks, why we are the way we are. Why do we have the feeling of continually being the same person? (When obviously I, at least, am not.) Why do we have this feeling of being self aware? What is it for? Hugely inspirational—I filled up 10 pages with exuberant notes. Keep a pencil handy.”
David Byrne, founding member of Talking Heads

“There could hardly be a better guide to the theories—good and bad—currently swirling around the science of consciousness. Seth writes with grace and charm, gently demolishing bad ideas—such as panpsychism, and Integrated Information Theory—while building a case for his own very good idea that consciousness is a kind of controlled hallucination, the brain’s best guess at inventing the future.”
Nicholas Humphrey, neuropsychologist and author A History of the Mind and Soul Dust

“Seth provokes us to think about thinking. And he offers what the interested reader always needs—a book which makes complex ideas readable, relatable, and gripping. If you want to understand his subject better—he’ll help you. And who wouldn’t want to better understand consciousness? In our lives, there is nothing weirder or more fundamental.”
Alex Garland, director of EX MACHINA

Being You offers us new cause for astonishment and wonder. Through expert science writing and engaging personal narrative, Anil gives us a new perspective on everything we perceive, down to space and time itself. Being You is a must read for anyone seeking a better understanding of the brain and how nature sculpts the human experience.” 
Annaka Harris, author of Conscious

“Reality is real, but how our brains construct a picture of reality—perceiving, integrating, predicting—is far from direct. It's a complicated, fascinating mess, which neuroscientists are just beginning to piece together. Anil Seth's
Being You is a wonderfully accessible and comprehensive account of how our minds capture the world, and how that makes us who we are.”
Sean Carroll, author of Something Deeply Hidden

“In this lucid and thought-provoking exploration of the nature of consciousness, Seth takes us closer than ever to making sense of our experience of being conscious selves. A must-read.”
Anil Ananthaswamy, award-winning journalist and author of Through Two Doors at Once and The Man Who Wasn’t There
 
“A fascinating book. A joy to read. Anil Seth explores fundamental questions about consciousness and the self from the perspective of a philosophically-informed neuroscientist. Highly recommended.”
Nigel Warburton, author of A Little History of Philosophy and Philosophy
 
“Insightful and profound. The nature of consciousness is still one of the hardest problems in science, but Anil Seth brings us closer than ever before to the answer. This a hugely important book.”
Jim Al-Khalili, author of The World According to Physics

“What makes you, you? What explains your consciousness and sense of self? In this remarkable and ground-breaking work, Anil Seth offers a surprising answer, rooted in the new science of the predictive brain. Compulsory reading for anyone who wants to better understand their inner ‘beast machine.’”
Andy Clark, author of Surfing Uncertainty: Prediction, Action, and the Embodied Mind

“Seth is uniquely placed to truly advance our understanding of one of humanity’s deepest riddles.”
Chris Anderson, Curator of TED
 
“The treatment of consciousness on offer is eclectic and delivered with a particular kind of generosity: it is both generous to the reader, in its earnest (and successful) attempt to lay bare the essentials of different contributions. It is generous to these contributions
per se: ranging from anaesthesia—the art of turning people into objects—from information theory to the Wizards of Odds (abductive Bayesian inference), from the Beholder's Share to the free energy principle—aptly defined as there are more ways of being mush than there are of being alive. It's dénouement is a millennial take on being A Beast Machine: a potent account of embodied sentience and selfhood. An account that is rendered irresistible by Anil Seth’s gentle and inclusive arguments.”
Karl Friston, University College London 

“Anil Seth is one of the world’s leading consciousness researchers—his take on the subject is unique and refreshing, and his talks and writing always exciting, accessible, and engaging. I look forward to his book-length account concerning experience and its place in nature.”
Christof Koch, Allen Brain Institute, author of Consciousness: Confessions of a Romantic Reductionist
 
“Anil Seth thinks clearly and sharply on one of the hardest problems of science and philosophy, cuts through weeds with a scientist’s mind and a storyteller’s skill.”
Adam Rutherford, author of A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived

“Anil Seth was my most anticipated guest in 2021, and our conversation was one of the highlights of the year. If you can only read one book this year, it should be
Being You.”
Ginger Campbell, MD, host of Brain Science, the world’s leading neuroscience podcast

5 out of 5 stars
One of my top two favorite books on the science of human consciousness.
I really like this authors approach To The Mystery of consciousness. A lot of people seem to hold rather fixed assumptions the author is careful to point out how these assumptions most often mask as much as they contribute to science. He gives a positive affirmation towards the issue of the hard problems of Consciousness David Chalmers laid out in the 1990s. He's not so hasty to throw in this out as it is the most salient feature of our experience more so than reality it's self. But be that as it may he uses a very pragmatic approach and consider the possibility that Consciousness can be one of many different aspects which may be amendable to the scientific method. He also does a wonderful job at constructing the current philosophy around the issues of qualia subjective experience and "what it's like" to be YOU. He believes like other phenomena and other questions in science Consciousness may be analogous to the mysteries of temperature and the Very definition of living things all of which eventually become understood in surprising new ways through the use of measurement.He treats the issues of measurement very carefully in his book since this is the basis of science and our ability to quantify phenomena has had a rather successful track record in solving what was previously a mystery.I do appreciate his approach on the conceivability argument and the thought experiment using the philosophical zombie he's definitely changed my perspective on that key topic.I would put this book right alongside the conscious mind by David Chalmers they both compliment each other and they build upon an understanding of the issue of consciousness that is accessible yet weighty.

    Anil Seth's "Being You" is a triumph of lucid scientific writing. He tackles the age-old question of consciousness with clarity and a refreshing directness. Unlike many academics, Seth doesn't shy away from providing conclusions, albeit tentative ones, which makes the book both thought-provoking and accessible to a wider audience.

    The author’s central thesis - that our conscious experience is a kind of "controlled hallucination" constructed by our brains - is novel, even if not immediately intuitive. The framework rests on the theory of Predictive Processing, which posits that our brains are constantly generating predictions about the world based on prior experiences and incoming sensory data. Consciousness, as per this theory, arises from the brain's efforts to minimize "free energy," the discrepancy between its predictions and the actual sensory input. In essence, we are continuously striving to make sense of the world by refining our internal model of reality.

    While this approach is more grounded in objective, measurable phenomena than, say, Integrated Information Theory, it ultimately falls prey to the same unfalsifiable claims. The very concept of "free energy" hinges on elusive notions of "predictions" and "expectations" that are inherently subjective and difficult to quantify. How do we accurately measure the gap between prediction and reality within the brain? Without a concrete means of measuring these variables, Predictive Processing, despite its elegance, risks becoming another subjective explanation with limited practical utility.

    Furthermore, as our understanding of the brain advances, with increasingly sophisticated neural mapping techniques, any single-measure definition of consciousness is likely to fall short. We will inevitably face a future where machines surpass any predetermined threshold we set for consciousness, rendering our definitions unacceptable to everyone who would want to keep humanity as something unique. As we delve deeper into the intricate signal-processing mechanisms of the brain, theoretical frameworks like Predictive Processing will face mounting challenges, with each new discovery potentially exposing flaws in their assumptions.

    Ultimately, our psychological need for a fixed definition of consciousness - something to cling to as machines outpace us in cognitive abilities, just as they did in physical prowess - may force us to keep shifting the definition to ensure we keep calling ourselves superior.

    It took me a very long time to get through this book. Perhaps, I didn't really get through it. It certainly opens up a lot of disturbing and different perspectives on our place in the universe that most of us have been living with for our whole lives. But it is a chance to come to grips with what some sophisticated scientists are suggesting makes us tick. I can't fully accept that our consciousness is merely a big hallucination designed to keep us focused on survival. I am left with the confidence that the master design of life is still not known or perhaps knowable. But it still is beautiful and meaningful. At least, it hints of mysteries that maybe ione day we will solve.

    A alucinação controlada é o grande modelo sobre a consciência apresentado aqui. Outros modelos também são abordados e explicados de forma bastante compreensível. Não encontrei aqui um texto fluido, com toques de domínio da escrita e do uso palavra, como por vezes encontramos em outros livros de temática técnico-científicas.

    Reviewed in Canada on March 12, 2022
    I came across this book via Anil Seth's 1 hr lecture on YouTube for the Royal Institution, covering the same material. I'm glad I purchased it for the greater depth afforded by the written work. I do agree with most of Anil's views, but even so, they are well explained and considered, so I think it's worth reading even if your views differ. (After all, we have no definite answers on the topic!) The core idea (clumsily summarized here by me) of the self as a constructed hallucination for controlling the body is intriguing. Consciousness, and self-consciousness, is one of the great mysteries and I'm glad talented thinkers are tackling the hard problem in practical ways.
