This is a fun, unique book that goes deep into the great mysteries of knowingâand makes it enjoyable. In The Grand Delusion, bestselling author Steve Hagen drills deeply into the most basic assumptions, strengths, and limitations of religion and belief, philosophy and inquiry, science and technology. In doing so, he shines new light on the great existential questionsâ Why is there Something rather than Nothing? What does it mean to exist? What is consciousness? What is the nature of truth? âand does so from an entirely unexpected direction. Ultimately, this book reveals how all of our fundamental questions stem from a single error, a single unwarranted beliefâa single Grand Delusion.
