Thinking Twice offers a fascinating interdisciplinary tour of the human mind ... It challenges the current fashion that upholds the power of intuitive thinking as well as the common-sense view that we are in complete charge of our actions we perform. Evans' explication of two minds in one brain uses abundant up-to-date, eye-opening, readable examples ranging from neuropsychology to social psychology. It is the very book that both general readers and professionals would enjoy reading. * Metapsychology * This book is the best case currently available for the dual process theory. A reader of Thinking Twice will find that Evans strikes just the right balance between readability and conceptual rigor. I strongly recommend this book to anyone, whether a psychologist or not, who is interested in the dual process theory. * Philosophy in Review *
