Feeling & Knowing by Antonio Damasio

Making Minds Conscious

The book argues that feelings are biological, brain-generated maps of the body's internal states that provide value-based guidance for behavior, while knowing is the cognitive capacity built upon those affective signals; using neuroscience evidence, clinical cases, and philosophical reflection, it explains how emotions, feelings, and homeostatic regulation underlie decision-making, consciousness, and the sense of self.
