    About this ebook

    The present book is about your subjective experience of how your brain works. It is not about the contents of thinking; there are hundreds of books written about that. Neither is it about neurology or psychology. It is about your own subjective experience of how your brain is automatically processing your experience and automatically creating your reality. This book is about learning to recognize the mistakes your brain makes while it functions automatically; it is about learning to recognize and control what your brain is doing instead of you merely going along for the ride believing that what your brain does automatically is who you are.
