Sinossi

In the vast expanse of human consciousness, the enigma of identity stands as a profound and enduring mystery. This book embarks on an intellectual odyssey to unravel the complexities of the self, exploring the diverse perspectives and theories that have attempted to shed light on this elusive concept.

We delve into the depths of the mind, traversing the intricate neural pathways that give rise to consciousness. We examine the role of memory, culture, and society in shaping our identities, exploring how our experiences, relationships, and social contexts mold our sense of self. We encounter the fascinating phenomenon of dissociative identity disorder, in which individuals experience multiple distinct identities within a single body, challenging our traditional notions of a unified self.

Our journey takes us from the innocence of childhood to the complexities of adolescence and the wisdom of old age, tracing the evolution of identity across the lifespan. We consider the impact of technology and the digital age on our sense of self, examining how our online interactions and digital footprints shape our identities in both positive and negative ways.

We ponder the nature of authenticity, the search for true identity, and the enduring human desire for meaning and purpose. We confront the question of whether identity is fixed and immutable or fluid and ever-changing. Is there a core self that remains constant throughout our lives, or is our identity a tapestry woven from the threads of our experiences, constantly unraveling and reweaving?

Through thought-provoking questions and insightful analysis, this book invites readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery, challenging their assumptions about who they are and who they might become. It is an exploration of the enigma of identity, a quest to illuminate the nature of self in a world where the boundaries between the physical, mental, and digital realms are constantly shifting.

    What Is It Like to Be a Bat?

    "Consciousness is what makes the mind-body problem really intractable." So begins Thomas Nagel's classic 1974 essay "What is it Like to be a Bat?" Nagel's essay initiated the now widespread attention to consciousness as a central problem for philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience; it also influenced the recognition of the consciousness of nonhuman creatures as an important subject of study. Nagel argued that the essential subjectivity of conscious experience—what it is like for the creature undergoing it—means that reductionist theories of mind, which attempt to analyze it in physical terms, can never succeed. It follows that the physical sciences cannot provide a complete description of reality, and that the physical conception of objective reality must be transcended if science is going to comprehend the mind. 
     
     
     
    This edition reissues this classic and widely influential article on its fiftieth anniversary, along with a new preface discussing the origins and influence of the essay, as well as "Further Thoughts: The Psychophysical Nexus," a supplementary essay which describes Nagel's later thoughts about how to respond to the problem posed by "What Is It Like to Be a Bat?"

    Negotiation expert Kwame Christian's motto is: "The best things in life are on the other side of difficult conversations." If we want a more equitable workplace, and a more equitable world, we have to talk to each other about race. But, for so many of us, that's easier said than done. 
     
      
      
    Many people avoid conversations about race because of fear: fear of discomfort, damaging important relationships, being misunderstood, "canceled," ostracized. How to Have Difficult Conversations About Race equips you with the skills you need to make these crucial conversations easier and more productive. 
     
     
      
    Whether you're looking to create change for yourself and other BIPOC, or a white ally seeking to support your coworkers or clients, you'll learn how to: overcome your internal barriers to talking about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI); work around others' barriers to productive discussion; be strategic about the outcome you want, and guide the conversation accordingly; use "Compassionate Curiosity" to connect and persuade; avoid common mistakes; and communicate more effectively over email, when you can't talk face to face. If you've ever struggled to turn that passion into persuasion, or been too afraid to speak up at work (or outside of it), this book is for you.
