Description
What drives our decisions, shapes our desires, and determines who we are? In this groundbreaking exploration of the unconscious mind, renowned neuroscientist David Eagleman reveals the hidden machinery of the brain that operates beneath our conscious awareness. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience research, Eagleman uncovers how unconscious processes influence everything from romantic attraction and aesthetic preferences to moral judgment and criminal behavior. This illuminating journey into the secret lives of the brain challenges our fundamental assumptions about free will, identity, and responsibility, offering profound insights into the vast neural landscape that makes us human. Eagleman's accessible yet scientifically rigorous approach transforms our understanding of why we think, feel, and act the way we do.
