Holistic Consciousness

This page begins the official site of the to be released book on consciousness entitled “Holistic Consciousness.” The book is divided into two sections. The first is a fascinating new take on consciousness written by Nyles Bauer, who addresses consciousness from a more scientific perspective accessible to the non-scientific reader without “dumbing down.” The second section of the book is a collection of submitted articles on consciousness and its surrounding phenomena, such as free will and cognition, written by a very diverse group. Contributors include Nobel Laureates alongside autistic savants, paranormal investigators alongside stage magicians, psychedelic researchers alongside explorers in the field of human longevity. “Holistic Consciousness” has already been hailed as “revolutionary” and “a valuable bridge between academia and public notions of consciousness.” This page will soon announce the official release date of the book and will certainly provide much more information on the subject fast becoming the issue of our time. Contributors to “Holistic Consciousness” include:

    Hi Nyles,

    Looking forward very much to reading “Hoistic Consciousness”. When will it be out?

    Meanwhile, my 3 day chemo was quite manageable. Only once faineted in a swoon of corld-sweat nausea in the middle of the night while returning from the toilet.

    Hope to see you in Seattle after we move there in early Feburary for the ASCT procedure.

    Now, how did it happen that you wrote your consciousness book in Mongolia?

    Best wishes,

    Jaak
