Il genio di Freud è largamente riconosciuto non solo nel campo della psicoanalisi. Le sue teorie hanno rivoluzionato in modo definitivo il pensiero occidentale. Ma quello che colpisce nella sua opera è l'anticonformismo, che si traduce in un'audacia teorica mai provocatoria e sempre razionale. Freud scopre l'Edipo scrivendo sul sogno poco dopo la morte di suo padre. Afferma che la sessualità determina la vita umana. E colloca all'origine della vita sessuale un desiderio ingovernabile che chiama "pulsione".

Why, this book asks, has the incidence of depression been on such an increase in the last 50 years, if our basic biology hasn't changed as rapidly?

"Man muss nur fest genug daran glauben, dann kann man alles erreichen" – wir alle kennen solche Grundannahmen, die unser Denken, Fühlen, Handeln beeinflussen. Erziehung und Sozialisierung haben uns geprägt, wir hinterfragen solche Überzeugungen nicht, sondern nehmen sie als gegeben hin.

Con Freud è l'inconscio che spiega l'origine e il significato dei sogni, ma anche le sviste e i lapsus della vita quotidiana. Un inconscio che tutti noi conosciamo, ma che non è l'unico. Incontreremo qui altri inconsci; quello, pervasivo, che chiamiamo cognitivo e che è l'esito dell'evoluzione naturale del cervello.
