What They're Saying
Critics Review
Once you have read How You Feel, I promise you cannot help but become mindfully aware of the inner intricate machinery that is our body and the spooky relationship it has with our mind. From the everyday sensations of aches and pains we all know to rare exotic syndromes that distort reality, this book is a fascinating and superb read - Professor Bruce Hood, bestselling author of ‘The Self Illusion’
An astonishing, gripping and beautifully told story, with out-of-body experiences, phantom limbs, imaginary heads, perceptions without sensations, and much more. Sparkles with insights and surprises - Professor Nick Chater, author of ‘The Mind is Flat’About The Author
