"This book charts history's many different ways of explaining the unconscious mind, from ancient descriptions of the 'underworld' to theories of contemporary neuroscience. But whatever metaphors the story-telling impulse attaches to the phenomena of the unconscious, it is not really a single entity, but a jumbled collection of notions in urgent need of untangling.

The shadow is a part of the unconscious mind consisting of repressed weaknesses and base instincts. "Everyone carries a shadow," Jung wrote, "and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is." Now, three of today's most popular spiritual teachers join forces in this remarkable exploration of the dark side--the emotions and traits we are most afraid of and instinctively hide. When we reject or refuse to acknowledge...

When Chesley Sullenberger's plane became disabled over New York City his quick thinking saved the lives of all those aboard. Neil Armstrong relied on the same combination of split-second decision-making and gut instinct to override a computer glitch and manually land Apollo 11 on the Moon. This program explains the science behind gut feelings and makes the point that conscious thoughts are actually fed to us by the unconscious mind. Experts including...
