Yes good book. Another one I am currently reading on the same topic is "The Experience Machine" by Andy Clark

"This is just electrical activity in my head" - I love that perspective, I'm writing an article 'Emotions as Data' at the moment and have Lisa Feldman Barrett's book waiting to be read to help validate the perspective I'm taking. I'm currently reading her other book, Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain which is fascinating.
