The Whole Animal (Unabridged) (Corinna Chong).

"The Whole Animal" by Corinna Chong is an unabridged book that takes the reader on a journey through the life of a human being as a whole, from birth to death, exploring all facets of their being. This book is a deep dive into the mind and emotions of humans, shedding light on the complexities that come with being human.

Through the lens of psychology, sociology, religion, history, philosophy, and science, Chong explores the enigma of our existence as well as the struggles we face as individuals and society at large. She draws on the experiences and perspectives of people across cultures and eras, including modern-day refugees and mental health patients, to challenge outdated notions of morality and ethics.

Corinna Chong's brimming intelligence, passionate empathy, and uncanny ability to distill complex ideas to their core make for a compelling, unwavering narrative that continues to unpack the human experience, understanding its challenges and joys as well as it interconnects with each other and with the world around us. What begins with some ethereal reflection on reincarnation expands into a soaring exploration of transcendental philosophy that tries to grasp the unimaginable, revealing glimpses of how the human mind may exist beyond our physical forms. While exploring the whys and wherefores of the human brain, the book deftly crosses disciplines, delving into epistemology at every turn, applying insights from phenomenology, semiotics, and functionalism into a comprehensive analysis of how mankind comes to know itself and the world.

In addition to being an insightful and informative self-help guide, "The Whole Man" serves as a provocative and profound look at how humans perceive and relate to the universe and each other, providing invaluable counsel and advice on everyday life experiences, relationships, work, and more. From shifting paradigms in ethics and free will to war and world peace, this book offers valuable perspectives to expand one's thinking and raise questions about the role of human agency and responsibility in our lives.
