This book demystifies this search, revealing why this search is a fallacy. The purpose is to inform readers about results in neuroscience and biophysics that may guide us to some liberation needed in the current age of great complexity in life with a diverse burden of chores; a deliverance from some afflictions that prevent individuals from achieving the true purpose of our lives. Among these afflictions we find two primordial concerns: the belief and subsequent attachment to a self, and the conviction that life must have a deep purpose in which we are major players. While this is a scientific text, it can easily be read by a lay audience, written with minimal technical jargon and with references to scientific papers enough to satisfy the curious. We have tried to extract the essence of scientific observations such that we can glimpse at those aforementioned concerns about the self and life, observations which help us comprehend what we are and what we become, the being and becoming of our own selves and natural phenomena around us. Jose Luis Perez Velazquez received a PhD in Molecular Physiology & Biophysics. His research seeks principles of biological organisation. He worked at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto and was Professor at the University of Toronto. Currently he is a Research Scholar at the Ronin Institute and lives in the natural paradise of Asturias, in Northern Spain. Vera Nenadovic is a nurse practitioner, neuroscientist and entrepreneur. She has 30 years of experience in healthcare from First Nations communities to intensive care units. Her research focuses on predicting brain injury outcomes. She is a clinician and researcher at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehab Hospital. Her startup company BrainsView is commercializing software that analyzes brainwaves to monitor brain function and recovery after head injury. She is married and lives in Toronto, with her husband and Rottweiler. 410 0$aBehavioral Science and Psychology Series 606 $aPsychology 606 $aNeurosciences 606 $aCognitive science 606 $aBiophysics 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aPhilosophy, Modern 606 $aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology 606 $aNeuroscience 606 $aCognitive Science 606 $aBiophysics 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aPhilosophical Traditions 615 0$aPsychology. 615 0$aNeurosciences. 615 0$aCognitive science. 615 0$aBiophysics. 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Modern. 615 14$aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology. 615 24$aNeuroscience. 615 24$aCognitive Science. 615 24$aBiophysics. 615 24$aPhilosophy. 615 24$aPhilosophical Traditions. 676 $a612.801 700 $aPerez Velazquez$b Jose Luis$0838595 702 $aNenadovic$b Vera 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495191603321 996 $aBeing and Becoming$91924960 997 $aUNINA
