FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 6, 2010

New Book on Mental Slavery

Author shows how thinking is hijacked by parts of the mind, and what to do about it.

Canon City, Colorado, May 6, 2010 -- Just published by Webhiker LLC, the book Beyond Mental Slavery examines how people fall under the spell of various mental processes that direct their thinking and decision making. Examples from science, business, the arts, and life in general are used to make the process clear. The reader is given simple solutions for improving the clarity and effectiveness of his or her thinking.

Steve Gillman, the author, claims that people's minds are enslaved by various hidden "masters" more often than they realize. Unconscious reactive programs determine many thoughts and decisions. Quick rationalizations provide obvious but untrue "reasons" for beliefs and actions, biases prevent the objective examination of new ideas, and desires motivate arguments rather than a search for truth.

Research, stories and examples that the reader can verify from experience are used throughout the book to demonstrate how easy it is to be ordered around by and misguided by various thought processes. Corrective actions or "escape plans" are laid out at the end of each chapter. The author calls the book, "a how-to guide for clearer, more powerful, and more useful thinking."

Gillman's previous book, Secrets of Lucky People, touched on some similar themes. In that book he looked at the mental processes and habits of those who are believed to have more good fortune in life. The differences between how such people think and act, versus less-lucky individuals, were used as the basis for exercises designed to help the reader become luckier.

Beyond Mental Slavery is available right now as a paperback from online vendors and in bookstores. More information, as well as excerpts from the book, can be found at www.BeyondMentalSlavery.com.
