Summary
We are much more connected to nature and each other than we realise....
- Most of our 37 trillion cells have such a short lifespan that we are essentially made anew every few weeks
- The molecules forming our bodies have been component parts of countless other organisms, from ancient plants to dinosaurs
- The bacteria, fungi and viruses that make up our bodies influence our moods and even manipulate our behaviour
- Every word and every touch we receive from other people transforms the neural networks in our brain and changes our sense of self
The Self Delusion is an explosive, powerful and inspiring book that brings together overwhelming evidence against the illusion we have of ourselves as independent beings - and explains how understanding our many connections may be the key to a better future.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A powerful message
It's a while since I listened to this, but the message was clear, your actions can have surprising consequences. This is but one of many emerging angles on how inter-connected we really are.

Cleverly links spirituality and science to re-ignite motivation to save our planet
I am a spiritual person who is angry that the environment keeps getting destroyed. By linking spirituality with science, this book took me on a journey of understanding how science supports the spiritual concepts that connect us to nature so that we can take effective action to protect our planet.

Insightful and inspiring
Extremely informative and structured in such a way so as to make the content very coherent and understandable. Would highly recommend for those interested in mindfulness and ecology.

A deeper look into our connectednesses
One of my favourite things about the book is it logically breaks down how we are all connected.
My favourite quote is ‘it’s not nature vs human, we are nature’

terrible narration
I couldn't listen to this book as the narrator was so fast, which is a shame as it looks like an interesting book
