What intrigued me about this book were some of the questions it is going to answer: why is your foot on the brake faster than your brain at seeing danger? Why, no matter where your attention might be, you can always hear your name mentioned in a conversation even if you weren't involved in it? How can you get angry with yourself? Who is upset with whom? I'd never even thought of these things, let alone that that the answers were neurological.

Really interesting stuff. I liked it overall but found myself having to sort through personal opinions that the author was putting forth and actual fact and studies that he was citing. The book did give me a lot to think about though, especially along the lines of how much our conscious thought is controlled by chemical reactions and subconscious processes.
