The publication of this book is an event in the making. All over the world scientists, psychologists, and philosophers are waiting to read Antonio Damasio's new theory of the nature of consciousness and the construction of the self. A renowned and revered scientist and clinician, Damasio has spent decades following amnesiacs down hospital corridors, waiting for comatose patients to awaken, and devising ingenious research using PET scans to piece together the great puzzle of consciousness. In his bestselling Descartes' Error, Damasio revealed the critical importance of emotion in the making of reason. Building on this foundation, he now shows how consciousness is created. Consciousness is the feeling of what happens-our mind noticing the body's reaction to the world and responding to that experience. Without our bodies there can be no consciousness, which is at heart a mechanism for survival that engages body, emotion, and mind in the glorious spiral of human life. A hymn to the possibilities of human existence, a magnificent work of ingenious science, a gorgeously written book, The Feeling of What Happens is already being hailed as a classic.

Not too sturdy
Size: 15x6.8, Color: Black
Not the sturdiest or highest of quality, but they look good. We attached them to our headboard as night tables and reinforced them with L braces from Home Depot and they work great

Good Stability, But Quality Could Improve
I bought this bathroom shelf on Amazon and overall, I’m fairly satisfied with the purchase. It is sturdy and holds my items securely without wobbling. The assembly process was straightforward and didn’t take much time. However, I did expect it to be a bit wider based on the pictures, so make sure to double-check the measurements before ordering. I also wish the overall quality of the materials was a little better, as some parts feel slightly less durable than I expected. That said, it still does the job well and serves its purpose. It’s not a bad purchase, especially if you’re looking for something functional and affordable.

Great shelves. As you’d expect - and mounting is just fine if you pay attention and hit some studs. I’ve got my wife’s plants on these for over a year with no problems.
