Reddit reviews Strangers to Ourselves: Discovering the Adaptive Unconscious

Very nice of them. Interesting demonstration of how much shaving is done by the adaptive unconscious rather than the conscious part of the mind: thus the long learning curve to allow old AU to learn the drill. (More info in the fascinating book Strangers to Ourselves: Discovering the Adaptive Unconscious, by Timothy Wilson.)

Journey through Genius - The Great Theorems of Mathematics - the beauty and elegance of the theorems he goes through is overwhelming. I read it in high school, and I remember having a strong, emotional reaction to some of them. It seems strange so many years later, but I think it's the only book that's ever made me cry. YMMV

Strangers to Ourselves is about how our unconscious shapes who we are despite what our conscious mind realizes/processes/understands.

Strangers to Ourselves: Discovering the Adaptive Unconscious by Timothy Wilson is personally one of my favorites
Anything by Malcolm Gladwell (I really enjoyed Blink)
Anything by Robert Cialdini (He was my social psychology professor and one of my favorite authors / public speakers)
Whistling Vivaldi: How Stereotypes Affect Us and What We Can Do (Issues of Our Time) by Claude M. Steele (Who basically uncovered stereotype threat research)
The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil by Phillip Zimbaro (famous for the Stanford prison experiment)


Older books:
Mindfulness by Ellen Langer (about automatic processes and how mindless we can be)
When Prophecy Fails by Festinger, Riecken, & Schachter (To understand how cults work, a group of researchers infiltrate a join a cult. Mainly about cognitive dissonance but details what happens to a cult when the world doesn't end like predicted)
Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View by Stanley Milgram if you want to know all about the Milgram experiments

Sorry that is all that comes to mind now. . . (edited for formatting)

Stranger to Ourselves; it takes a look at some of our misperceptions about how our minds' work, and I definitely enjoyed grappling with some of it.
