Publisher's Summary

Reality spans across all the experiences you feel, all the words you communicate with, and all the knowledge you’ve acquired over your lifetime. Reality, in this regard, is quite literally everything. Nothing is out of scope.  

But how much of reality do you understand?  

Between You and the Universe explores the expansive concept of reality by breaking it into three parts: science, symbols, and experience. You can explore what these distinct parts are and how they interweave to stitch everything around you. The goal is to present three mental models that explain how your reality emerges, from your idea of self to your understandings of the universe.  

You’ll probably notice familiar disciplines ranging from physics, neuroscience, linguistics, and philosophy. However, this book's particular classifications and arrangement of concepts allow you to structure these separate ideas into comprehensive mental models. By doing so, this book covers a wide breadth of questions:  

  • How do you become conscious? 
  • How do your sensations work? 
  • How does language facilitate your experience? 
  • What are symbols? 
  • Why do symbols exist everywhere around you? 
  • What assumptions exist in our scientific undertakings? 
  • And, what are the unknowns in reality that we still wish to explain? 

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
