Alva Noë talks about his book “Out of Our Heads.”.

Here’s what Dennett wrote in praise of “Out of Our Heads”:

“A provocative and insightful book that will force experts and students alike to reconsider their grasp of current orthodoxy. Out of Our Heads is a vivid, clear, and very knowledgeable critique of some of the main ideas in cognitive science, and those of us who disagree with some of its main conclusions have our work cut out for us.”

I disagree with Dennett. This is a surprisingly weak book, full of wishful thinking, outrageous assumptions, and poor reasoning. This book is why Alva Noë is now a prominent member of my blacklist.
