Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior Audiobook (Free)

Leonard Mlodinow, the best-selling author of The Drunkard’s Walk and coauthor of The Grand Style (with Stephen Hawking), gives us a startling and eye-opening study of the way the unconscious brain shapes our connection with the world and how, for example, we often misperceive our interactions with family, friends, and business affiliates, misunderstand the reasons for our purchase decisions, and misremember essential events.

Your preference in politicians, the total amount you tip your waiter- about Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior all judgments and perceptions reflect the workings of our mind on two levels: the conscious, which we are aware, as well as the unconscious, which is hidden from us. The second option has long been the main topic of speculation, but over the past two decades researchers have developed impressive new equipment for probing the concealed, or subliminal, workings of the mind. The consequence of this explosion of research is a fresh science of the unconscious and a ocean change in our understanding of how the subliminal mind affects the way we live.

Employing his trademark wit and lucid, accessible explanations of the most obscure scientific subject areas, Leonard Mlodinow requires us on the tour of the study, unraveling the complexities from the subliminal self and increasing our understanding of how the human mind works and how we interact with friends, strangers, spouses, and coworkers. Along the way he changes our look at of ourselves as well as the world all around us.
