Discovering the adaptive unconscious. But this is just baseless prejudice. What are we trying to discover, anyway? Harvard UP – for a take on the complexity of our brain. Strangers to ourselves: Discovering the Adaptive Unconscious. Wilson convincingly argues that our conscious minds are but the tip of the iceberg in deciding how we behave, what is important to us, and how we feel. Product Description “Know thyself,” a precept as old as Socrates, is still good advice. I learned that much of what we think we know about ourselves and our behaviors isn't really true. Most often, Wilson tells us, because we have developed a plausible story about ourselves that is out of touch with our adaptive unconscious. I just read a book called Strangers to Ourselves: Discovering the Adaptive Unconscious. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press. I recently finished reading a book with my grandmother had given to me entitled “Strangers to Ourselves: Discovering the Adaptive Unconscious” by Timothy D. But is introspection the best path to self-knowledge? WILSON (2002): Strangers to ourselves.
