THE THREADS THAT MAKE YOU
You're Not a Thing. You're a Web of Connections — and That Dissolves the Mind's Hardest Questions.By Shov

About this audiobook
Here's a strange thought: the you reading this isn't the same you who woke up this morning. The wiring has already changed. So what exactly are you holding onto when you say "me"?
This book has an answer — and it's simpler than every philosopher who's ever tied themselves in knots over it. You're not a thing. You're a web of threads, wired by everything you've touched, mostly dark until something lights a path through it. That one idea quietly dismantles the questions people have called impossible for thousands of years.
Are you still you if every part has changed? Could a machine ever feel? What is a feeling, really? You've heard these called deep mysteries. They're not. They only look that way because everyone's been asking the wrong question.
No equations. No jargon. Just a kettle, a cup of tea, and a way of seeing yourself you can't un-see once it lands.
Some books explain the world. This one explains you.
