Summary:

"Being you is an unprecedented tour of consciousness thats to new experimental evidence, much of white comes from Seth's own lab. 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."--Provided by publisher.
