Leonard Mlodi­now, the best-sell­ing author of The Drunkard’s Walk and coau­thor of The Grand Design (with Stephen Hawk­ing), gives us an ​“enlight­en­ing ” (Book­list), star­tling and eye-open­ing exam­i­na­tion of how the uncon­scious mind shapes our expe­ri­ence of the world and how, for instance, we often mis-per­ceive our rela­tion­ships with fam­i­ly, friends, and busi­ness asso­ciates, mis­un­der­stand the rea­sons for our invest­ment deci­sions, and mis­re­mem­ber impor­tant events.
