Description

Are You Sure? The Unconscious Origins of Certainty explores the implications of one the most surprising recent discoveries in neuroscience. There is overwhelming evidence that most of what our brain does (perhaps as much as 95%) is unconscious. It not just outside our conscious awareness, but much of it is also inaccessible to introspections. Neurologist Robert Burton explored the implications of this discovery in two recent books and in Are You Sure? Dr. Campbell shares and expands on Burton's work. She makes these surprising ideas accessible to readers of all backgrounds. In the second edition, she goes beyond the unconscious origins of certainty to explore what these discoveries might mean to our understanding of the human mind.

Author Biography:

Virginia Ginger Campbell, MD, is best known for her long-running podcast Brain Science. The show for everyone who has a brain was launched in 2006 with the goal of sharing how recent discoveries in neuroscience are unraveling the mystery of how our brain makes us human. Brain Science enjoys a diverse worldwide audience because of Dr. Campbell's unique ability to make complex ideas accessible to lis- teners of all backgrounds. She spent many years working as an emergency physician and now practices palliative medicine at the Veterans Adminis- tration Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama. Dr. Campbell is a prolific podcaster. In addition to Brain Science, she hosts Books and Ideas and Graying Rainbows: Coming Out LGBT+ Later in Life. She lives with her golden retriever, Rusty, in Birmingham. All of her podcasts are available for free in your favorite podcasting app and at http: //virginiacampbellmd.com.
