The best things said about it
And this study, the one I just referred to, which I should say was published in the journal, Consciousness and Cognition, and again, we'll provide a link to it, did a wonderful job of teasing out this impact of cannabis on personality, which then impacts creativity.
Andrew Huberman Huberman Lab · Oct 2022 Why people recommend it
Consciousness by Christof Koch is an influential scientific exploration examining the neurological and biological underpinnings of subjective human experience and awareness. The book has garnered passionate praise within intellectual and scientific podcast circles. On The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, guest Brian Roemmele expressed profound admiration for the publication, describing it as an absolute classic that he consciously chooses to re-read on an annual basis simply to awaken his mind because the text is so intellectually rich and stimulating. Meanwhile, neuroscientist Andrew Huberman referenced related academic literature on the subject during an episode of Huberman Lab, citing a study published in the prominent journal Consciousness and Cognition while breaking down how external substances like cannabis impact human personality traits and subsequently influence creative thinking. Together, these podcast references underscore the enduring significance of Koch's work in bridging the gap between hard neuroscience and the philosophical mystery of subjective experience, serving as both an essential cornerstone for academic researchers and a deeply inspiring read for independent thinkers exploring the nature of the human mind.
