About this title

Synopsis:

"Know thyself," a precept as old as Socrates, is still good advice. But is introspection the best path to self-knowledge? What are we trying to discover, anyway? In an eye-opening tour of the unconscious, as contemporary psychological science has redefined it, Timothy D. Wilson introduces us to a hidden mental world of judgments, feelings, and motives that introspection may never show us.

Review:

Strangers to Ourselves is certainly worth reading and reflecting upon. You will like this book. -- New Scientist 5 October 2002

There is much here to arouse interest and provoke thought in any reader... -- TLS, 13 August 2004
