Books that helped me understand emotions, mind, and self. They helped me see the self as a model rather than a fixed entity.
Phantoms in the Brain - : Neurological case studies reveal how the brain constructs body image, perception, and the self.
Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain - : A concise account of the brain as an evolved organ for allostasis, prediction, and action.
The Experience Machine - : Experience and cognition arise from predictive brains in active, world-involving loops.
Making Up the Mind - : An introduction to how the brain supports agency, intention, and understanding other minds.
The Mind of the Cells - : A radical proposition that salvation is physical, rooted in the transformation of the body's cells.
I will keep adding more books here as I finish reading them.
