I only have a BA in psychology, but I really disagree a lot here. When I play piano, I do it via chunking; each thing I play IS deliberately decided except mistakes. I also think we CAN tap into manipulating the brain & body to using subconscious resources for our benefit. if we couldn't, psychology would be pointless, drugs the only cure. So far, it seems he's appealing to drama masses eat up, but not real logic.

Still a lot of stuff in here I learned in college and is, consequently, less interesting to me. However, the writing is finally getting a little less, "HA! You think you control yourself! STUPID!" and more, "Hey, look, your brain is doing you a favor..." Less presumptive and patronizing, more interesting. Took way too long to get here, though.

The book is still full of things which are fairly obvious and I learned from an early age either via school or the absence of things which should be in my own body, so meh. However, I did discover a fun game where you can read almost any sentence and get a giggle by adding "for bacon" at the end.
