In Pollan’s dazzling exploration of consciousness, he discovers a world far deeper and stranger than our everyday reality. Eye-opening and mind-expanding, A World Appears takes us into the laboratories of our own minds, ultimately showing us how we might make better use of the gift of awareness to more meaningfully connect with our deepest selves.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
The author of 10 books, including the classics “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” and “The Botany of Desire” and recent NYT bestsellers “This Is Your Mind on Plants” and “How to Change Your Mind,” Michael Pollan explores the origin and nature of consciousness in his new one, “A World Appears.” He’s joined in conversation by Dacher Keltner, a renowned expert in the science of human emotion and author of several books including “Awe.”
