Talking Risk Video–The Unconscious In Communication
Another great conversation on the Couch between two of our authors Rob Sams and Max Geyer – this is such a great explanation of the interaction between our conscious and non conscious minds…great practical examples too thanks Max n Rob. The video starts with Max describing a recent social experiment he conducted on himself to see how hard it was to just stop a particular behavior – see the full story here: The Unconscious and the Soap Dispenser. The guys then discuss the benefits of tools such as Take 5, when used properly, for taking us out of our subconscious to a state where we consciously consider and dicuss what we are doing
