Customer Reviews

this is a very good book....

and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in psychological/philosophical aspects. I have to admit that there are some extreme descriptions and the langague are sometimes not very appropriate. Very opne-minded people welcome (Parental advise! or PG-13). But overall, I have learnt a great deal from that book that makes me think...I mean, really think a whole lot different about our world. I am trying to translate this book into my mother langague, and even though it needs sometimes to complete, I am so thrilled at the idea that I help speading these thoughts.

A book hoping to expose ones natural societal programming

This is a neat little book written for Laymen. It exposes the brain's unconscious programming and makes you aware of behavior programmed into your brain by evolution.

Terrific! Extremely interesting!!

I'm a university student, majoring in psychology and I love anything to do with the brain. I found the site extremely interesting...so much, in fact, that I made three of my friends go to it and check it out.
