Engaging Subliminal

In this post, you will find links to about 50 question sets about Leonard Mlodinow's 2013 work of non-fiction, Subliminal:  How Your Unconscious Mind.  These question sets are organized by chapter and are listed in the order in which the issues they address are raised by the text.

There's also a sandbox where you can raise own questions about the text that are not covered elsewhere (and answer those posed by others).  There's also other good stuff that doesn't directly lead to a question but that may enrich your engagement with the material (you may have to read chapter six before you'll see the relevance of "Butt Slap, anyone?").

Once you've started reading the chapters listed below, click on the links, read the corresponding questions and comments other readers may have left (click on the "comment" button beneath each post to see them), and then join the discussion (or initiate it).
