"This book is calculated to be controversial on a number of counts. It advocates a general yet detailed theory of human thought, feeling, and action-probing phenomena from perception to psychodynamics, from sensation to symptoms. It stresses those mental functions occurring between stimulus and response, and pursues them in the laboratory with the aid of techniques like hypnosis, galvanic skin recordings, and introspection. Its approach is cast in the form of a model which is neither neurophysiological nor mathematical but purely conceptual. It appraises some significant problems posed by psychoanalysis, at the same time shaping a different theoretical base. The guiding framework is acknowledged to be unfinished, requiring much additional structure from empirical research. And finally, the experiments suggested by the model often tend to be rather unorthodox in design as well as execution"--

During the 20th century, the world experienced an unprecedented rise in people's cognitive abilities. IQs increased 30 points (with the average IQ remaining 100 only because publishers reset the "average" on their tests). Yet, society's ability to confront serious problems in the world seems as challenged as ever. Problems such as air pollution, global climate change, increasing disparity of incomes, disputes that never seem to move toward resolution (such as between the Israelis and Palestinians), and increasing antibiotic resistance--all of these and many other problems seem to defy us, despite our elevated IQs. Why are there so many serious problems still confronting the world? Why is IQ insufficient for solving serious problems where differences in people's interests are at stake? How can intelligence, broadly defined, help us to create a better world and solve the seemingly intractable problems the world confronts? The essays in this book address these questions and provide some directions for answers.
