“Our greatest illusion is to believe that we are what we think ourselves to be. —H. F. Amiel, The Private Journal”
Timothy D. Wilson, Strangers to Ourselves: Discovering the Adaptive Unconscious

“Just as we possess a potent physical immune system that protects us from threats to our physical well-being, so do we possess a potent psychological immune system that protects us from threats to our psychological well-being. When it comes to maintaining a sense of well-being, each of us is the ultimate spin doctor.21”
Timothy D. Wilson, Strangers to Ourselves: Discovering the Adaptive Unconscious

“Consider that at any given moment, our five senses are taking in more than 11,000,000 pieces of information. Scientists have determined this number by counting the receptor cells each sense organ has and the nerves that go from these cells to the brain. Our eyes alone receive and send over 10,000,000 signals to our brains each second. Scientists have also tried to determine how many of these signals can be processed consciously at any given point in time, by looking at such things as how quickly people can read, consciously detect different flashes of light, and tell apart different kinds of smells. The most liberal estimate is that people can process consciously about 40 pieces of information per second.”
