Mental Influence Has someone popped into your mind just before they phoned? Why do psychic experiments fail? Can we track extrasensory mental phenomena? If information is transferring to and from our brains, what evidence might we see? Johnson takes the reader on a voyage of discovery, making a case for the impact of unconscious impressions on our mind. He colors our world with a Jungian tapestry, providing a perspective from which a layman can assess the mental influences they are subject to, but might not detect. Best of all he provides an array of relevant stories for which mental influence transfer can be the only explanation. Mental Influence is a collection and categorization of events that illustrate the transfer of mental information. It provides a physiological explanation for phenomena that Malcolm Gladwell shared with millions of receptive readers in his books Blink and The Tipping Point.
