By subliminal, I mean things that occur in our world that are below the threshold of consciousness but do have a psychological effect on us.

From Leonard Mlodinow

On the unconscious level, touch seems to impart a subliminal sense of caring and connection.

From Leonard Mlodinow

French culture is known for many great attributes, some of which probably have nothing to do with food, wine, and romance.

From Leonard Mlodinow

Our subliminal mental processes operate outside awareness because they arise in these portions of our mind that are inaccessible to our conscious self; their inaccessibility is due to the architecture of the brain rather than because they have been subject to Freudian motivational forces like repression.

From Leonard Mlodinow

'Subliminal' is about how we misinterpret our behavior because we're unaware of what our unconscious minds are doing.

From Leonard Mlodinow

Evolution is among the most well-established theories in the scientific community. To doubt it sounds to biologists as absurd as denying relativity does to physicists.

From Leonard Mlodinow

I find that predicting the course of our lives is like predicting the weather. You might be able to predict your future in the short term, but the longer you look ahead, the less likely you are to be correct.

From Leonard Mlodinow

Non-human primates spend hours a day grooming each other. And with humans, touching is also important. It's a way to form bonds and connect in modern society. But you can also speed up the use of conscious purposes once you're aware of that, and it can be manipulated.

From Leonard Mlodinow

I believe there is true expertise in some endeavors, and not in others. There is obviously no such thing as expertise in predicting the results of coin tosses, but there is expertise in predicting the behavior of lasers.

From Leonard Mlodinow

A failure doesn't mean you are unworthy, nor does it preclude success on the next try.
