Summary:
The best-selling author of The Drunkard's Walk and coauthor of The Grand Design (with Stephen Hawking), gives us an examination of
how
the
unconscious
mind
shapes our experience of the world and
how
, for instance, we often misperceive our relationships with family, friends, and business associates, misunderstand the reasons for our investment decisions, and misremember important events.
Your
preference in politicians, the amount you tip
your
waiter, all judgments and perceptions reflect the workings of our
mind
on two levels: the conscious, of which we are aware, and the
unconscious
, which is hidden from us. The latter has long been the subject of speculation, but over the past two decades researchers have developed remarkable new tools for probing the hidden, or subliminal, workings of the
mind
. The result of this explosion of research is a new science of the
unconscious
and a sea change in our understanding of
how
the subliminal
mind
affects the way we live. Employing accessible explanations of the most obscure scientific subjects, the author takes us on a tour of this research, unraveling the complexities of the subliminal self and increasing our understanding of
how
the human
mind
works and
how
we interact with friends, strangers, spouses, and coworkers. In the process he changes our view of ourselves and the world around us.
