Suggestions for Further Reading

Damasio, A. (1999). The feeling of what happens: Body and emotion in the making of consciousness. New York: Hartcourt Brace.

A leading neuroscientist looks at the topic of consciousness, with an unconventional suggestion regarding its origins.


Dennett, D. C. (1991). Consciousness explained. Boston, MA: Little Brown.

This book provides a provocative look at consciousness from a philosophical, psychological, and computational viewpoint.


Jaynes, J. (1976). The origin of consciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind. Boston: Houghton Mifflin.

Jaynes’s book presents the provocative hypothesis that human consciousness is a recent phenomenon that emerged long after the evolution of the human brain, as we know it now. You do not need to agree with Jaynes’s thesis to enjoy reading this scholarly book.


Baker, R. A. (1990). They call it hypnosis. Buffalo, NY: Prometheus Books.

Laurence, J. R., & Perry, C. (1988). Hypnosis, will, and memory: A psycho-legal history. New York: Guilford Press.

Sheehan, P. W., & McConkey, K. M. (1982). Hypnosis and experience: The exploration of phenomena and process. Hillsdale, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates.

If you would like to learn more about hypnosis, you will enjoy reading any of these books. The Sheehan and McConkey book provides a more advanced, scholarly approach.


Cohen, D. B. (1979). Sleep and dreaming: Origins, nature and functions. New York: Pergamon Press.

Horne, J. (1988). Why we sleep: The functions of sleep in humans and other mammals. Oxford: Oxford University Press.

Both of these books about sleep are excellent and interesting.
