Summary
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
What if the most complex system you will ever operate is yourself?
User Manual for a Human Being explores the body, mind, senses, consciousness, yoga, karma, evolution, psychology and ancient Indian philosophy through one central question: how do we truly understand ourselves?

Beginning with creation and evolution, the book gradually moves inward—from the physical body and nervous system to thoughts, emotions, habits, awareness and the deeper nature of identity. It brings together ideas from modern science, psychology, Yoga, Sāṃkhya, the Bhagavad Gita and spiritual philosophy without asking the listener to blindly accept any belief.

Instead, this audiobook invites you to question, observe and investigate.
Why does the mind behave the way it does?
What lies behind our habits and reactions?
What is consciousness?
What do meditation, karma and self-realisation actually mean?
And could science and spirituality sometimes be describing different aspects of the same human experience?

Written by Viral Chawla, User Manual for a Human Being is a journey from understanding the body and mind to exploring the deeper question of who we really are.

Understand the body. Understand the mind. Explore the self.
