We'd like to think that the choices we make are the product of deliberate, conscious reasoning. But Leonard Mlodinow says that's not the whole story. In his new book, "Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior," Mlodinow discusses the many hidden quirks of the human brain that shape our decisions and understanding of the world.

Host: Michael Krasny

Guests:

  • Leonard Mlodinow, author, screenwriter, physicist and lecturer at the California Institute of Technology

More info:

Mlodinow's other books include "Feynman's Rainbow," "The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives" and "Grand Design," co-authored with Stephen Hawking.
