About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 My mother had a pet Russian tortoise named Miss Dinnerman. The tortoise lived in a large pen enclosing both shrubs and lawn, delineated by chicken wire. Miss Dinnerman’s main goal in life seemed to be escape. She would walk the perimeter, poking around for a hole in the chicken wire. #2 It can be difficult to distinguish between willed, conscious behavior and that which is habitual or automatic. We often read consciousness into our own actions, and we do this with animals as well. #3 We humans also perform many automatic, unconscious behaviors. We tend to be unaware of them, however, because the interplay between our conscious and our unconscious minds is so complex. #4 My mother, who had been orphaned and sent to a labor camp when she was 16, had developed a skewed view of the world that remained unchanged for the rest of her life. She never recognized that her perceptions were skewed by the ever-present fear that justice, probability, and logic could cease to have force or meaning.
