It is a remarkable book. I wish I had read it decades ago.
In particular I am reading his chapter about the "stream of thought." Very enlightening. Our sense of self is generated by memory. (I grok this from Ken Wilber, Chapter 4 "No Boundary Awareness," No Boundaries when I skimmed through it a few nights ago. I've been resisting this insight for years and I finally got it. Then, I find the same distinction in William James!)
As some of my friends would say, it is all from the same source, so of course I find the same distinctions everywhere I look in my quick survey of the literature of mind and consciousness.
