IRB Intro Post #3- Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior by Leonard Mlodinow

For this marking period, I have decided to try the book, Subliminal, written by Leonard Mlodinow.  In the past, I have been reading historical non-fiction books, both of which did not excite me in the least bit.  This book seems a lot more interesting and it's more about psychology, something that I really do not know muc about.  It is a national bestseller, and although it is focused mainly on neurological research, by skimming through the chapters, it is obvious that Mlodinow is an equally talented writer as he is a scientist.  As the Huffington Post reviewed, "with great wit and intelligence, Mlodinow takes us on a sweeping tour of this [mental] landscape and the latest revelations in neuroscience." How could a student looking for the opposite of a history book pass this up?
