Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

"Know thyself," a precept as old as Socrates, is still good advice. But is introspection the best path to self-knowledge? What are we trying to discover, anyway? In an eye-opening tour of the unconscious, as contemporary psychological science has redefined it, Timothy D. Wilson introduces us to a hidden mental world of judgments, feelings, and motives that introspection may never show us.

Críticas

"Wilson convincingly argues that our conscious minds are but the tip of the iceberg in deciding how we behave, what is important to us, and how we feel. Surveying a variety of contemporary psychological research, this book describes an unconscious that is capable of a much higher degree of 'thinking' than previously supposed by adherents of either Freudian or Behaviorist branches of psychology... A fascinating read." - David Valencia, Library Journal; "[A] charming, talkative and yet authoritative review of how... most of what happens inside us is not perceptible by us." - Tor Norrentronders, New Scientist"
