Neurophenomenology: 3 books in quick review
Posted by Paul Mason on October 24, 2009
There are plenty of people who write about their life experiences through a first-person account of their neurologically diagnosed conditions. While they might not call themselves neurophenomenologists or neuroanthropologists, they offer us insightful texts to reflect upon. The following post is a brief pointer to three engaging and well-written books that combine data from the neurosciences with personal experience and thoughtful introspection:

HOME by Yann Arthus-Bertrand & other YouTube must-sees
Posted by Paul Mason on October 24, 2009
HOME is a spectacular journey of epic photography that everyone must watch. It is available for free on YouTube, so click on the link, load the film and take 90mins of your life to learn about our planet, your home.
It is my hope that one day, growing knowledge about the brain and a deeper awareness of human cultures will help us to align our cultural habits with our ecological boundaries. I do not believe that humans will be the first species to live forever, but hopefully long enough to survive the next great evolutionary bottleneck. This post is but a small list of YouTube must-see videos that I highly reccomend watching. There are films about climate change, global warming and the Great Plastic Vortex in the Pacific Ocean. Hopefully one day, humans will realise with humility that we are not the rule, but the exception.
