This book is one of a kind because it attempts to understand the subject of cognition at 'consciousness level' by associating it to various scientific areas, from neural to social to psychology, and then putting these ideas together in rational web. One of the most important lesson (and I believe the message of the author) was to be careful with our choices of words, for example 'likening' an intelligent system as being "intelligent"...

The best education I received from this book was feeling "reborn, and reborn". Each time I read this book, I find many more knowledge inside it, and I've read it for about 5 times, that is has become like a "holy book for science" that I carry everywhere with me.

This book is best read with an open mind coupled with imagination and emotion, it is best viewed from the view of the author, himself.

This book is a modest book, that is frank, and it is a no-nonsense book. I recommend that this book becomes a basis for young researchers to read and learn, especially on the notes for the next generation on how to conduct true scientific research.

When I first read the book, it took quite a while to adapt, because it changes your perspectives and whole outlook and it comes heavy with history and how scientific research evolved from the 1950's.

As a final note, i say what I learn best from this book is not only the knowledge I gain but most importantly it helped me shaped me up as a person, and gives deep motivation, if one carefully reads it.

it's an all in one book, for the growth of science, spiritual, personality and strength.believing faithfully in something you believe despite...all the obstacles
