What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Compared to The Ancient Origins of Consciousness, Consciousness Demystified is more condensed, less technical and accessible to a wider range of readers interested in understanding consciousness.

—British Journal of Psychiatry
“Serious scholars are likely to find their appetite whetted…. a worthwhile read”
—The Psychologist
