Om denne lydbog

What is consciousness? Is your mind just your brain—or something more? Can animals, machines, or even the universe itself be aware? And if your sense of self is just a story, who’s the one telling it?


In Theories of Mind and Consciousness, Vincent Froom takes readers on a mind-bending journey through neuroscience, philosophy, AI, psychedelics, mysticism, and metaphysics. With wit, clarity, and curiosity, this book explores:


The hard problem of consciousness (and why it’s still hard)

Competing theories like physicalism, panpsychism, and functionalism

The mysteries of dreams, ego death, and near-death experiences

Non-human minds—from dolphins to robots

The future of awareness in a hyperconnected, post-biological world



Blending science and storytelling, Froom unpacks complex ideas without dumbing them down—and never forgets that you, the reader, are already the thing being explained.


Whether you’re a student of philosophy, a neuroscience nerd,




Om forfatteren

✍️ About the Author: Vincent Froom


Vincent Froom is a writer, philosopher, and lifelong explorer of mind. With a mixed background in cognitive science, comparative philosophy, and contemplative practice, he has dedicated his career to tackling the deepest questions about consciousness—without assuming that simply asking them will make them go away.


Vincent’s journey began with a fascination for the brain’s mysteries and a penchant for late-night philosophy discussions. From studying neural networks in graduate school to spending years engaging with Buddhist meditation retreats, he has approached the study of mind from both empirical and introspective vantage points.


He has published essays and articles on topics ranging from neuroethics to the phenomenology of altered states, and has spoken at universities and public forums about the importance of integrating science, philosophy, and lived experience. Vincent believes that understanding consciousness isn’t just an academic project—it’s a vital aspect of human life, creativity, and ethics in the 21st century.


When not writing or contemplating the nature of awareness, he enjoys hiking, playing jazz piano, and ordinary conversations that suddenly veer into existential wonder. He lives in Vancouver, BC, with his dog, Luna, who may or may not be more grounded than he is.
