Feeling & Knowing, Making Minds Conscious: A Harthill FrameChangers Book Club Conversation
In this episode of the FrameChangers podcast from Harthill, host Nial O'Reilly introduces a dynamic and heartfelt conversation from the FrameChangers book club as they explore Feeling & Knowing, Making Minds Conscious by Antonio Damasio. Coaches, facilitators, and curious thinkers come together to unpack Damasio’s ideas about consciousness, the essential role of feelings, and what it truly means to know something with our whole selves rather than just the intellect.
You’ll hear honest reflections on how the book stretched, inspired, and sometimes challenged the group. The discussion moves between science and poetry, theory and lived experience, as the participants explore how Damasio’s ideas connect to leadership, coaching practice, embodiment, and the universal human search for belonging.
Recorded live during a book club session, the audio shifts slightly in quality, but the richness of insight, curiosity, and connection more than carries the conversation.
Whether you’ve read this book or are simply drawn to the intersection of neuroscience, philosophy, and personal growth, this episode invites you into a thoughtful exploration of what it means to be, as Damasio writes, feeling beings who think.
Settle in and join a conversation that aims not just to discuss ideas, but to spark discovery and shift how we think about thinking.
