Join 📚 Edwin's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Edwin's read, .
Five mindstates would be the equivalent of being able to think your way through a sentence like this: I believe that you wonder whether Jim expects that Jemina intends to ask Sally whether she is in love with Fred. Only 20 per cent of people can do better than that. We have since confirmed these results in around half a dozen subsequent studies.
The take-home from all this is phrased most aptly by Mark Twain: "We should be careful to get out of an experimessage ence only the wisdom that is in it-and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again-and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore."
