Loading... Strangers to Ourselves: Discovering the Adaptive Unconsciousby Timothy D. Wilson
154.2 W753 Mlk Very textbook like, too clinical, not the self help book I was hoping for. It’s about the adaptive unconscious and trying to recognize it and changing it. Interesting ideas but wanted further reading and the bibliography is slim. I picked this book up because Malcolm Gladwell recommended it on his website. It's an excellent look at relatively current psychological research on how the mind works, and I've been finding useful applications in my daily life as I go along. It's an easy, engaging read , not too academic. |

Malcolm Gladwell recommends this book highly. I recommend you read this book instead of Gladwell's Blink, since Gladwell seems to ignore much of what Wilson actually has to say. Better companion reads would be Daniel Gilbert, Dan Ariely, or Jonah Lehrer. (
