Never forget that your unconscious is smarter than you…
Never forget that your unconscious is smarter than you, faster than you, and more powerful than you. It may even control you. You will never know all of its secrets.
— from The Mind in the Cockpit
In the book
People will believe astonishing untruths to keep an old story intact — there are those who remember a parent's cruelty and have quietly relabeled it as love, because the alternative was unbearable. And underneath it all sits the oldest engine: your unconscious is faster and more powerful than your conscious mind, and the ancient, instinctive part of the brain can override the reasoning part before you have noticed it moved. [Name here a belief about yourself, or about the world, that you held for years and were utterly certain of — and that turned out to be flatly untrue.] — The Mind in the Cockpit
