This week’s quote comes from Antonio Damasio whose books and research have inspired an entire generation of psychologists, neuroscientists and philosophers. His book, “The Feeling of What Happens: Body, emotion and the making of consciousness” is an exceptional volume in neuroscience literature that re-embodies our understanding of  consciousness and places emotions in a central position of this picture.
