About this listen

With the lucid verve and solid scientific grounding of an Oliver Sacks or Malcolm Gladwell, Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler guides listeners on a fascinating tour of the bedrock of our existence - the way our senses perceive everything and everyone in the world around us.

Why does one person see Jesus in a shower curtain, get a "bad feeling" about someone they've just met, or hear a conversation so differently than the other person? Boxer Wachler describes some of the mysterious medical conditions that cause non-psychiatric hallucinations and neurological mix-ups, then focuses on how we all receive and interpret the messages of our senses. Practical as well as provocative, Perceptual Intelligence also offers listeners ways to improve their PI, "reality check" their perceptions, and make desired changes in their lives.

This was not what I expected (perceived?) from the title

I had hoped for an exploration of perception and its influence on how we construct our personal worlds. What influences our perceptions and given that some of these influences result in unhelpful and deep-rooted beliefs; how can we first identify these and secondly modify them. I found the delivery laboured and repetitive. The chapter on Putin's megalomania was more about image projection and mass indoctination than perception, while the lengthy chapter on success in sports was more about self belief, motivation, creative visuakisation, and neuro-linguistic programming than perception. However, my perspective on the subject has been influenced by philosopher's like Husserl and Merleau-Ponty. Perhaps, if this had not been the case I would have got more from this book
