NATIONAL BESTSELLER - From the bestselling author of The Drunkard's
Walk, a startling, eye-opening examination of how the unconscious mind
shapes our experience of the world.
"Mlodinow plunges into the realm of the unconscious mind accompanied by
the latest scientific research ... [with] plenty of his trademark
humor." --*Los Angeles Times

Over the past two decades of neurological research, it has become
increasingly clear that the way we experience the world--our perception,
behavior, memory, and social judgment--is largely driven by the mind's
subliminal processes and not by the conscious ones, as we have long
believed. In Subliminal, Leonard Mlodinow employs his signature
concise, accessible explanations of the most obscure scientific subjects
to unravel the complexities of the subliminal mind. In the process he
shows the many ways it influences how we misperceive our relationships
with family, friends, and business associates; how we misunderstand the
reasons for our investment decisions; and how we misremember important
events--along the way, changing our view of ourselves and the world
around us.
