DESCRIPTION:
Else-Marie T. said ET. Ordered several of Leonard Mlodinow's books by chance by browsing what Amazon's computer brain in the sky "thinks" I might like to browse. This is the first one of Mlodinow's books I've read, but bought ET Ordered several of Leonard Mlodinow's books by chance by browsing what Amazon's computer brain in the sky "thinks" I might like to browse. This is the first one of Mlodinow's books I've read, but bought 3 of them. Fascinating book this! Had to force myself to get some sleep. His books have to do with how our brains work and this one explores how some neuroscientists (not dry reading) discovered we can't change habits but we can "replac. of them. Fascinating book this!

Robert Clark said 5 because mind was blown. The book is thoroughly entertaining and enlightening. I would put Leonard Mlodinow up there with Michio Kaku in terms of being able to make science entertaining (vice dry) to read. Neither over the average educated man's head, nor too simplified (Michael Crichton was also a master of this writing style), you will burn through this book! I give it 5 stars because he kept delivering relevations about the subconcious reapeatedely blowing . "I bought this hardcover book for less than 10$ #vanquishing" according to Ian. This book is full of cogent stories in my estimate that keep you perusing on and on to finish the end of the chapter. I found the information to be well research and very insightful, as well as a bit risible from time to time. Most books presenting anything about neuroscience can be a bit drudging but Leonard's writing style was able to keep my interest till the end. I finished it in less than a week and I believe I was able to learn q
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.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. In the process he changes our view of ourselves and the world around 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 explo
His previous books include War of the Worldviews (with Deepak Chopra); the two national best sellers The Grand Design (with Stephen Hawking) and The Drunkard's Walk (a New York Times Notable Book and short-listed for the Royal Society Prize for Science Books); Feynman's Rainbow; and Euclid's Window. . He also wrote for the television series MacGyver and Star Trek: The Next Generation. LEONARD MLODINOW received his P
Indeed, most of our actions are carried out by the unconscious mind (or minds ) which exists in peaceful harmony with the conscious person "inside" your body. Freud bashing is a popular intellectual pastime these days (I myself have been guilty on occasion) but Mlodinow shows that by emphasizing the unconscious he was on the right track: we are completely unaware of the vast majority of events going on inside our brains. The book presents compelling evidence gleaned from a variety of sources to show that much of our behavior is governed not so much by our conscious mind – which is prone to claim credit – but by a cauldron of
