Zitat des Tages von Leonard Mlodinow:

We routinely participate in elaborate nonverbal exchanges even when we are not consciously aware of doing so.

Listeners instinctively detect that when we lower the usual pitch of our voice, we are sad, and when we raise it, we are angry or fearful.

Leonard Mlodinow

We perceive, we remember our experiences, we make judgments, we act - and in all of these endeavors, we are influenced by factors that we aren't aware of.

Leonard Mlodinow

'Subliminal' is about how we misinterpret our behavior because we're unaware of what our unconscious minds are doing.

Leonard Mlodinow

Of course our feelings matter. But emotional decisions are usually not the best ones. On the other hand, your emotions can affect your decisions whether you like it or not because the effects can occur on the unconscious level.

Leonard Mlodinow

We have emotions for a reason; for instance, imagine pain. You have pain so that if you touch something that's hot, or if you slam your hand with a hammer, you will pull your hand away and not do that again.

Leonard Mlodinow

On the unconscious level, touch seems to impart a subliminal sense of caring and connection.

Leonard Mlodinow

The pitch, timbre, volume, speed, and cadence of your voice, the speed with which you speak, and even the way you modulate pitch and loudness, are all hugely influential factors in how convincing you are and how people judge your state of mind and character.

Leonard Mlodinow

Intentionality and talent always matter. An extraordinary feat is certainly made more likely by someone's focus, hard work, etc. But chance also matters.

Leonard Mlodinow

We should keep in mind that it is easy to concoct stories explaining the past or to become confident about dubious scenarios of the future. We should view both explanations and prophecies with skepticism.

Leonard Mlodinow

We routinely participate in elaborate nonverbal exchanges even when we are not consciously aware of doing so.

Leonard Mlodinow

Touch is our most highly developed sense when we are born, and it remains a fundamental mode of communication throughout a baby's first year and an important influence throughout a person's life.

Leonard Mlodinow

I just really loved films and thought I should be writing screenplays.

Leonard Mlodinow

We all know that players will hit a few more home runs than usual in some years and a few less in others. But the mathematics of chance also predicts that some years they'll hit a lot more, and some years a lot less.

Leonard Mlodinow

We all know that looks matter, and modern politicians have always assumed that their battles are decided on both substance and image.

Leonard Mlodinow

The truth is that our unconscious minds are active, purposeful, and independent. Hidden they may be, but their effects are anything but, for they play a critical role in shaping the way our conscious minds experience and respond to the world.

Leonard Mlodinow

I think the fun of following the movie box office and stocks is very similar to the fun of sports - all three combine passion and unpredictability.

Leonard Mlodinow

One thing that feeds into the way you experience the social world is your mood - and one thing that affects your mood is the weather.

Leonard Mlodinow

You have to have passion for a subject to write about it. You can't expect your readers to feel any excitement if it's nothing but a boring writing exercise for you.

Leonard Mlodinow

Expressive speech, with modulation in pitch and volume, and a minimum of noticeable pauses, boosts credibility and enhances the impression of intelligence.
