The Human Reality
Sometimes life stops making sense in the way it used to.
Someone you thought you understood suddenly feels different. Something that once worked no longer does. Two people remember the same event differently. A decision that seemed uncertain at the time appears inevitable in hindsight. Or the person you have always known yourself to be no longer seems to fit the life in front of you.
The Human Reality: Why Being Human Makes Life So Complicated explores the strange and often overlooked distance between reality and our experience of it.
Why can what we see, remember and believe feel so certain? Why can two people experience the same event so differently? Why can something that once made perfect sense look different years later? And what happens when we reach the limits of what we can know?
Moving through perception, memory, language, belief, identity, relationships, trust, coincidence, meaning and consciousness, Craig Anthony examines something present in every experience we have:
Us.
There is a reality beyond us. It exists whether we understand it or not.
But we never encounter it without bringing ourselves along.
Accessible, thoughtful and grounded in everyday human experience, The Human Reality is an inquiry into what happens in that encounter-and what it might reveal about ourselves, each other and the lives we are trying to understand.
