New Scientist review:
New Scientist reviews Mind Hacks:
Which is nice. I'm pleased they picked up on all the links and references we give if you want to explore the phenomena further. Like another (very favourable) review said:
"Mind Hacks" is helpfully structured to take you just as deep as you want to go.
From bookzen.blogspot.com which also contains this interesting suggestion:
[Mind Hacks] is totally overflowing with examples and simple exercises -- the "hacks" -- that you can do by yourself or with friends. Better yet, buy the book and give a "Mind Hacks" party! Ask your guests to open the book randomly, exclaim on the particular mental characteristic explained on that page, and then put everyone through the exercise or group discussion implied.
If you do have a Mind Hacks party and manage to get a group of people all doing one of the demos (I think some of the mood induction ones like "Make Yourself Happy" [Hack #95] would serve well for this) then make sure you take pictures and let us know how it goes!
