Yesterday my family and I all went over to Barnes and Noble. Originally, I was just planning to go over with Matisse quickly to get a book I was interested in reading, but everyone decided to come along––which I do not mind at all. The book I wanted to get is “The Knowledge Illusion,” written by Steven Sloman and Phil Fernbach. It is a psychology-type book that talks about how we individually cannot know everything and are not always as smart as we think we are. Instead, the majority of our knowledge comes from society as a whole; we all collaborate together and share our knowledge on the few subjects we are experts in. I just started reading it today and I have found it really quite fascinating.
However, while I was at the book store, I saw another book titled “Subliminal,” written by Leonard Moldinow. Along with the title, it reads, “how your unconscious mind rules your behavior.” I also thought this would be a riveting read, so I decided to get it too. I haven’t started reading it yet, but I think I might just need to. It looks so good, that I just can’t resist not reading it right now. Here’s to reading over the weekend!
