Synopsis

Modern brain science has produced extraordinary insight into the functioning of the human brain.

This book combines some of these results with the idea of subconscious and conscious models. It then explores how these models often generate magic, sometimes error, and occasionally terror.

Subconscious models help us understand how psychotherapy changes minds, why fatigue is an emotion, how breathing affects our well-being, and how we may give mind and body a rest.

Conscious models explain some instances of deception in medicine, economics, politics, and religion.

Subconscious and conscious models together allow us to identify nonsensical questions. The age-old question "Do we have free will?" is one such case. Hence, this question cannot be answered.

This book offers a kaleidoscope of topics and cases. More ideas about subconscious and conscious models and their effects will surely occur to you as you read.
