The approach of this book to consciousness is phenomenological. According to phenomenology consciousness must be defined in terms of consciousness itself instead of natural processes.

1) I jot down my thoughts about it, describing the state of mind and the emotions that I am experiencing when I can't write about my subject. It is a free-writing exercise that helps me pass through the block. Just write when you're stuck, whatever comes to mind and heart, and brilliant ideas will surface.
2) I take a pen and a piece of paper and go take a walk. Walking makes ideas roll. When a good idea comes just write down the gist of it so you can work it when you get back to the typewriter. (less)

American Cheese and the Ontology of Attention

I once learned at the vet that a slice of American cheese could make a hated nail-clipping practically disappear for my dog.
