Wow!! This was a really interesting book that taught me a lot of new things while making me think more about what consciousness and experience are. I really enjoyed the way each chapter felt almost like a podcast with various interviews, and each chapter was summarized well so the story was easy to follow. Each chapter covers a lot of deep information and research, but to keep readers interested they cut back in some places while giving a solid list of resources the reader can look at later.

What is consciousness? How we come to understand it? Can we truly share our experiences with others?

This is not a book, but an audio documentary that felt like a very long podcast. Harris is excellent at establishing definitions and locking down meanings before continuing on in her quest to explain and understand consciousness. This is a great documentary for a beginner to the subject who has a genuine interest in consciousness.

Thank you NetGalley for a prerelease of Lights On.

This audiobook documentary is an engaging dive into consciousness. I love how she weaves in the newest scientific research in an easy to consume and engaging way. There is something for everyone in this book - whether for consciousness novices and seasoned experts.

I highly recommend this book.
