Unrecognised factors affect human behaviour every day: room air humidity, genetic commands, unconscious ulterior moves, misinformation provided by a biased media, and more. We underestimate the infinite number of influences on our actions and tend to lurch from one simplistic conclusion to another to explain human behaviour. Intended as a popular, science-oriented book, "The You You Don't Know" combines analysis of cultural and psychological factors with basic scientific pursuits such as physiology and genetics. Scepticism and candid self-analysis pervade, while superstition, the paranormal, and political rhetoric are treated as they deserve. Dr Riggs recognises our control by a dishonest, media-dominated world and tells the reader how to recognise, accept, and handle these many human influences, including popular 'feel good' books. This work synthesises current thought from a broad array of scientific disciplines and distils it to the most fascinating content relevant to causes of human behaviour. It is unique in presenting the relationship between our conduct and the chaos-complexity theory. "The You You Don't Know" remains scientific, humanistic, and forthright and will appeal to a large audience of rational, independent thinkers.
