Discovering How Your Subconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior

By Barbara Hall


One of the best selling authors of the 21st century has just released a new book. The book, Subliminal: How Your Subconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior is now available in bookstores and online. Like with The Drunkard's Walk and The Grand Design which the author co-authored with Stephen Hawking, it is an eye opening account and examination as to how unconscious minds shape personal and world experiences.

With over twenty years in the field of neurology, the author paints a clear picture of the conscious and unconscious mind of individuals. In addition, there is a great deal of proof as to just how powerful the unconscious can be in shaping friendships, relationships and personal experiences. For, while perception, behavior, memory and social judgment may be conscious choices, these are also subliminal actions which shape current reality.

In doing so, Leonard shows how different experiences influence the way friendships, friendships, business partners and others can often misunderstand certain aspects of life while we also tend to forget events and other important aspects. Whereas, if individuals were to stay awake and aware of those around us, our relationships could grow and prosper over time.

While reviews on Good Reads and other sites are often mixed, there appears to be more positive than negative ones. In some cases, readers on both sites suggested that the information had been published in previous self-help guides. Whereas, there are others whom suggest the book is so intriguing it can be hard to put down.

One reviewer suggested that much of the same information can be found in the books "Strangers to Ourselves" and "Blink." At the same time, the reviewer also indicated that the new information on blindsight was not only informative but interesting and insightful. In addition, the reviewer also talks about the cognitive behavior and biases and agrees with the author that no one can be completely objective.

One review in particular shows a great deal of light on the intention of the author to outline just how weak the human mind can be. While also discussing how the unconscious can often overpower the conscious mind in certain circumstances. In conclusion, the reviewer suggest the book is worth reading if individuals want to understand how and why one makes the decisions one makes in life.

Basically, the book appears to be an updated version of other self-help books of the past. While this is the case, Subliminal does tend to go deeper into the workings of the unconscious mind. For, it is one thing to understand that the unconscious exist and another to understand the inner-workings and how the processes can effect daily life.

Readers interested in learning more about the mind, conscious and subconscious will most likely find the book an interesting read. While this is the case, it is up to the reader to recognize the drawbacks and benefits associated with the practices and theories discussed in the publication. As such, those interested in how the subconscious can effect friendships, relationships and career choices will most likely find the book well worth reading.
