The those who inhabit the gray area are often labelled as being irretrievably misplaced, without wisdom and no feel of self. The stunning fact is they are usually nonetheless there, an intact brain trapped deep inside of a damaged physique and mind, listening to every little thing round them, experiencing feelings, recommendations, excitement and discomfort, like the remainder of us. now not really dwelling, and never rather long past, they've got existed silently in those shadowlands. yet now, via Dr Owen's pioneering thoughts, we will check with them - and so they can speak again.
These transferring obstacles of awareness have shaken the structure of our experience of self. we've got identified for a very long time physique doesn't outline an individual - yet what if a mind doesn't outline a brain? What does it suggest if a brain can exist unhurt inside a deeply broken brain?
Through leading edge examine and case reports which are poignant, tragic and uplifting, Dr Owen maps this internal universe of the self, displaying us what it capacity to be alive and human.
