He reveals the pervasive influence of the unconscious mind in who we choose to date or vote for, what we buy, where we live, how we perform on tests and in job interviews, and much more. Before You Know It is full of surprising and entertaining revelations as well as tricks to help you remember to-do items, shop smarter and sleep better.Before You Know It will profoundly change the way you understand yourself by introducing you to a fascinating world only recently discovered, the world that exists below the surface of your awareness and yet is the key to unlocking new ways of thinking, feeling and behaving.

Now Bargh reveals a new science of the unconscious that busts these outdated myths ... These are powerful revelations." -- John Gottman, PhD, Professor Emeritus, University of Washington "John Bargh is - without exception, without exaggeration, and without competition - the world's foremost authority on the unconscious mind ... and it is no surprise that he has received virtually every award science can offer. The Hidden Mind is going to be a spellbinding tour, written by the undisputed master." -- Daniel Gilbert, Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, author of the international bestseller 'Stumbling on Happiness' "Professor John Bargh has been a consistently and systematically amazing social scientist for decades with his insights, observations, studies, and perhaps most important - their implications for the way we live and the aspects of our life that we take for granted... We can expect a fabulous book." -- Dan Ariely, PhD, Duke University, author of New York Times bestseller 'Predictably Irrational'
