Customer Reviews

Introspection made me a believer.

Not only have I more readily noticed the subtle cues of others, I have reflected on previous events and laughed at myself for what I was really saying. I could go on and on with examples, but this book should be appreciated by the reader. I will say it was a unique, refreshing and insightful experience.

Groundbreaking Work

This is an outstanding, groundbreaking contribution to the scientific study of unconscious processes which, at the same time, is a practical guide to understanding unconscious communication in everyday life. I reccomend it without reservation.

Fascinating topic, understandable by everyone

Rob has vastly outshone his previous book on this topic, "Between the Lines;" Deep Listening is a book on a fascinating and developing field, that of the cognitive study of the unconscious mind(s), and is very well-written. Rob uses timely examples and precise scientific work, appealing equally to cognitive psychologists and the interested layperson. This is not pop psychology, popular though it may become! Even if you're not already interested in the unconscious mind, or even psychology, you will be when you read this book. You'll never see the world the same way again: you'll find subliteral meanings in things your friends, your parents, your patients, even you yourself say. You'll tell everyone you know about this subject.
