«The Feeling of What Happens» is Antonio Damasio's popular science essay, published by Mariner Books in paperback (400 pages, in English).
Antonio Damasio explains consciousness as a process rooted in the body: the mind perceives and responds to bodily reactions to the world, and survival depends on this loop between emotion, body, and mind. He argues that without a body there is no consciousness or self, and demonstrates this with clinical cases and neuroimaging studies.
The work originally appeared in 1999; this edition was published in October 2000.
For readers of neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy of mind interested in the relationship between emotions, body, and consciousness.
