In the depths of our skulls, a remarkable organic supercomputer hums with activity, orchestrating our every thought, emotion, and action. But as scientists continue to unravel the intricacies of the human brain, a profound question lingers: what lies beyond the realm of neurons and synapses? Do our minds transcend the machinery of our brains, or are we merely complex machines governed by the laws of physics? Brain scientist Sharon Dirckx embarks on a fascinating journey to explore the intersection of biology, philosophy, theology, and psychology, seeking answers to the most fundamental questions of human existence. Join her on a quest to uncover the essence of our being, and discover the surprising insights that modern research reveals about our identity, free will, and the human experience. Through this thought-provoking exploration, Dirckx challenges the notion that we are solely material beings, and invites readers to reconsider the nature of their own existence. Whether you're a curious seeker of knowledge or a skeptical thinker, this book offers a compelling and insightful examination of what it means to be human.
