Opis

This text attempts to answer the question: how much of what we do is the result of conscious and deliberate decisions and how much originates in unconscious, unthought out, automatic directives? The answer is that far more than what we might imagine falls into the second category.

Recenzje

This new theory of mind covers ground touched in his two previous texts and synthesises a wide and deep range of knowledge, in which analytic theory, cognitive psychology and the latest research in neuroanatomy combine to yield a thought provoking, holistic, subjective and relational-based view of mind, written with wisdom and compassion. - Dr. Dale Mathers, Member, International Association of Analytical Psychology
