Within an eye-opening travel of the unconscious, as modern-day psychological knowledge has redefined it, Timothy D. Wilson presents us to a concealed mental world of judgments, emotions, and motives that introspection may never show us. This is not your psychoanalyst's unconscious. The adaptive unconscious that empirical mindset has revealed, and that Wilson describes, is much more than a repository of primative drives and conflict-ridden remembrances. It is a couple of pervasive, superior mental procedures that size up our worlds, place goals, and initiate action, all while we are consciously thinking about something else. If we have no idea ourselves -- our potentials, emotions, or motives -- it is frequently, Wilson instructs us, because we have developed a plausible tale about ourselves that is out of touch with our adaptive unconscious. Citing data that too much introspection can actually do damage, Wilson makes the case for better ways of discovering our unconscious selves. If you want to know who you are or what you feel or what you're like, Wilson advises, pay attention to what you truly do and what other people think about you. Demonstrating us an unconscious better that Freud's, and even more pervasive inside our lifestyle, Strangers to Ourselves markings a revolution in how we know ourselves.
