In A World Appears and Being You, Michael Pollan and Anil Seth ask one of the biggest questions there is: how does consciousness happen? From brain labs to Buddhist caves, controlled hallucinations to psychedelic revelation, Pollan - the endlessly inquisitive author of How to Change Your Mind - joins leading neuroscientist Seth to discuss Seth’s groundbreaking theory of consciousness, alongside perception, reality, selfhood, and the limits of objective neuroscience in explaining who we are.

Please note: Michael Pollan will join remotely.
