From the neurological research of the last three decades, it has gradually become clear that the way we experience the world – our perception of stimuli, behavior, memory, and social judgment – is largely guided not by the conscious processes of the mind, as scientists once believed, but by the unconscious.

In Under the Threshold, Leonard Mlodinow uses his unparalleled ability to illuminate even the most difficult scientific issues in a concise and understandable way to clarify the complexity of the "sub-threshold" mind.

Throughout this presentation, he demonstrates the many unconscious aspects of our misunderstandings about relatives, friends, and professional colleagues. He sheds light on the mechanisms of our misinterpretations regarding the reasons for our investment choices, and explains how inaccurate memories of significant events in our lives are created, leading us to radically reassess our perception of ourselves and the world around us.
