What is consciousness? Why are we here? Where did it all come from - the laws of nature, the stars, the universe? Humans have been asking these questions forever, but science hasn't succeeded in providing many answers - until now. In The Grand Biocentric Design, Robert Lanza, one of Time magazine's "100 Most Influential People", is joined by theoretical physicist Matej Pavšic and astronomer Bob Berman to shed light on the big picture that has long eluded philosophers and scientists alike.

Understanding how brains produce consciousness is one of the great scientific challenges of our age. Some philosophers argue that consciousness is something "extra", beyond the physical workings of the brain. Others think that if we persist in our standard scientific methods, our questions about consciousness will eventually be answered. And some suggest that the mystery is so deep, it will never be solved.

Nearly everyone is familiar with holograms - three-dimensional images projected into space with the aid of a laser. Two of the world's most eminent thinkers believe that the universe itself may be a giant hologram, quite literally a kind of image or construct created, at least in part, by the human mind. University of London physicist David Bohm, one of the world's most respected quantum physicists, and Stanford neurophysiologist Karl Pribram, an architect of our modern understanding of the brain, have developed a remarkable new way of looking at the universe.

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.

Carl Gustav Jung was the 20th century's greatest articulator of the primacy of mind in nature, a view whose origins vanish behind the mists of time. The present book scrutinizes Jung's work to distil and reveal that extraordinary, hidden metaphysical treasure: For Jung, mind and world are one and the same entity; reality is fundamentally experiential, not material; the psyche builds and maintains its body, not the other way around; and the ultimate meaning of our sacrificial lives is to serve God by providing a reflecting mirror to God's own instinctive mentation.

The present framing of the cultural debate in terms of materialism versus religion has allowed materialism to go unchallenged as the only rationally viable metaphysics. This book seeks to change this. It uncovers the absurd implications of materialism and then, uniquely, presents a hard-nosed non-materialist metaphysics substantiated by skepticism, hard empirical evidence, and clear logical argumentation.

In Projections, he combines his knowledge of the brain’s inner circuitry with a deep empathy for his patients to examine what mental illness reveals about the human mind and the origin of human feelings - how the broken can illuminate the unbroken.

Human beings are primates, and primates are political animals. Our brains, therefore, are designed not just to hunt and gather but also to help us get ahead socially, often via deception and self-deception. But while we may be self-interested schemers, we benefit by pretending otherwise. The less we know about our own ugly motives, the better - and thus, we don't like to talk, or even think, about the extent of our selfishness. This is "the elephant in the brain".

Publisher's Summary
Can we trust our senses to tell us the truth?
Challenging leading scientific theories that claim that our senses report back objective reality, cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman argues that while we should take our perceptions seriously, we should not take them literally. How can it be possible that the world we see is not objective reality? And how can our senses be useful if they are not communicating the truth? Hoffman grapples with these questions and more over the course of this eye-opening work.
Ever since Homo sapiens has walked the earth, natural selection has favored perception that hides the truth and guides us toward useful action, shaping our senses to keep us alive and reproducing. We observe a speeding car and do not walk in front of it; we see mold growing on bread and do not eat it. These impressions, though, are not objective reality. Just like a file icon on a desktop screen is a useful symbol rather than a genuine representation of what a computer file looks like, the objects we see every day are merely icons, allowing us to navigate the world safely and with ease.
The real-world implications for this discovery are huge. From examining why fashion designers create clothes that give the illusion of a more “attractive” body shape to studying how companies use color to elicit specific emotions in consumers, and even dismantling the very notion that spacetime is objective reality, The Case Against Reality dares us to question everything we thought we knew about the world we see.

“The accompanying pdf”
I like this book but the author has many references that would probably make this book a good bit easier to understand, but I listen to E-books while running or driving so this is not preferable to me. I really like the concept of this book, and books in this category. The beginning was a bit slow and somewhat redundant but it laid the foundations for understanding of the rest of the book pretty well so it’s all good. The middle/end of the book was great though and made it all worth the read!

Take the red pill and be lost in the rabbit hole
Mysticism meets Science, Consciousness clashes with reality. I have not read a book that challenged my view of reality for a long time. There are lot of scientific facts that the author used to make his points and some places it was a little dry but i guess it is essential for the book. It is high time for the scientific world to look for a new approach to explain our reality or the lack of it. A must read for anyone who is interested in science, philosophy and psychology because this book actually brings elements from wide variety of disciplines to make a point which i think should not be ignored by anyone.Like any good book on science, it makes us think of more questions than it answers.
And behold there is a mathematical equation for a conscious agent !!!

I expected to hear about guirks of human perception, but got so much more.
Yes, you’ll learn about what, how and why we perceive the world, but this book is so much more: „The Case Against Reality” goes into epistemological and onthological territory so deep and convincing, that I had to revise my views on myself and the world. Sometimes hard and complicated, it needs a lot of focus and attention on your part, but you’ll find out a great deal about evolution, quantum mechanics, the inner lives of famous thinkers and consciousness. No previous physics and philosophy training needed, although it casts a new light on the history of both. Oh, and Mr. Timothy Andrés Pabon does a great job interpreting it for audio. Truly amazing stuff.

Don't buy - visual examples missing, no pdf
The ideas Hoffman present in the book are expansive and very interesting.
However, contrary to the opening statement in the introduction, Audible doesn't have the downloadable pdf, nor can they get it.
The original publisher (Brilliance Audio via Tantor Media) says there is no accompanying pdf.
Further, Donald Hoffman doesn't respond on social media to requests for the download, although he's certainly busy making posts promoting the book.
I recommend purchasing the kindle or physical copy.

One Idea, No PDF
Firstly there are many examples used in the book which are difficult to understand without the promised PDF which is not there, and I was unable to find elsewhere.
The one idea presented is that there is no good reason to believe our senses' perceptions of reality closely match the actual underlying reality. With this, I totally agree. Hoffman discusses a proof of this based upon evolutionary psychology. He does not present the proof, let alone prove it. Anyway, to me, it does not matter, as I feel it is somewhat self evident, as Einstein pointed out, that reality is an illusion.
If you have any doubts about this idea, it is possible this book might be useful to help see the truth of this.
Near the end, one begins to suspect that there is a subtle pseudo-religious subtext to the book.1

Over-egging a mediocre topic
I love evolutionary psychology but the author really tries to over exaggerate what are interesting quirks into some sort of grand theory of quantum physics. I think he is hopelessly muddled in term of in which field he is supposed to be an expert. Some interesting ideas though that would make for a pleasant read if he didn’t overreach.

Repetitive and contradictory
The subject of this book is something I find very interesting, but I found this book to be extremely repetitive, giving endless examples and going over the same ground repeatedly without moving forward. I also found it to be contradictory in some fundamental ways, at least in the way it was described.
Due to the repetition it missed out dealing with some important questions and consequences.
However, right at the end of the book it suddenly moved on from the repetition and started taking things forward, but unfortunately the book then ended without taking it very far.
So overall I found I didn’t get anything useful or new except for the very last part of the book.

Out there.
The central theme suggests that space time is not real, just an illusion we see due to evolutionary processes. A lot was above my head but I got annoyed with the author hammering the same theory over and over. Telling me that illustrations were in the accompanying pdf ad nauseam was irritating. Speaking of which if Audible can't supply the pdf file of illustrations, there's not much point listening to the audio book as it's referred to a lot.

Please, no more about the red apple one meter away
Some interesting theories talked through but a few examples were very repetitive. A lot of "what isn't there" and how to (dis)prove its existence but not very helpful in the "what is there" department. Definitely some out-there concepts that'll be fun to bring up at parties but this came across more like philosophy than science. The publishers notes on this site say the accompanying PDF with all the mind-blowing demonstrations is to be found in my Audible library but I can't see it anywhere.

Very insightful.
Very insightful. I enjoyed the dissection and reformulating of the theories. More on the usefulness of such theories would have given the book more impudence. A little humour would have made the volume of theories more palettable. Over I enjoyed it immensely. Thank you.
