“Think you know the whys and hows of your choices? Follow Mlodinow on a gorgeous journey that will make you think again.” Stephen Hawking, author of A Brief History of Time “Mlodinow never fails to make science both accessible and entertaining.” Physicist, science writer and Hollywood screenwriter Leonard Mlodinow is out to explore how important the unconscious is in shaping the way we process the world.” “One of the ten books to watch out for in 2012. the book appeals to readers with an interest in the workings of the human mind.” Drawing on clinical research conducted over a period of several decades and containing a number of rather startling revelations. “This very enlightening book explores the two sides of our mental lives, with a focus on the subconscious or subliminal element. “Mlodinow, a theoretical physicist who has been developing a nice sideline in popular science writing, shows how the idea of the unconscious has become respectable again. A useful addition to the growing body of work arguing convincingly against the idea of the rational human brain.” “An assault against the idea that we control our decisions and our beliefs in the way that we think we do. Subliminal makes its main point well and concisely.” A popular-science beach book, the sort of tome from which cocktail party anecdotes can be mined by the dozen.

Includes a bonus PDF of diagrams and illustrations from the book In the process he changes our view of ourselves and the world around us.

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.Įmploying his trademark wit and lucid, accessible explanations of the most obscure scientific subjects, Leonard Mlodinow 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. 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. 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.

Leonard Mlodinow, the best-selling author of The Drunkard’s Walk and coauthor of The Grand Design (with Stephen Hawking), gives us a startling and eye-opening 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.
