The Un-TV and the 10 Mph Car: Experiments in Personal Freedom and Everyday Life

This copy I bought was to replace the first copy I had for a university class I took way back in 1994. My old copy was literally being held together with rubber bands. This is how much I cherish this book! It was read over and over. For the class we had to actually do each experiment and then we had to write a paper on it and discuss our responses to our experiences. It was an amazing class and completely based on this book! It will change your life. From the time I read this book so long ago to today it has changed the way I see the world.

This was used as a text book in a psychology class I took, so I expected it to be boring. It wasn't at all. In fact, it was fascinating. It made me sick to my stomach, laugh, and think critically throughout. Do the experiments! I would highly recommend this book to anyone, especially those who want to examine their own "reality." The only complaint I have is the lack of information behind why we react the way we do to the experiments. There wasn't a lot of citing other people's studies. It sort of felt like you were in his class, just getting his ideas as well as select comments from McGrane's students.

Dr. McGrane's book is beyond words of description. I just took his very last class ever at UC Irvine, and it was life altering. Read the book, participate in the exploriments, and open your mind. His words will make you think like you never have before.

This book is like no other you will ever read. I highly reccomend it as long as it is under parental supervision. Great book, the man is a genious.

A wonderful and startling book. If you actively engage yourself in Dr. McGrane's work, you will not only come away having learned something about yourself, but possibly even have a new understanding of what learning IS. Professor Mcgrane is the ideal teacher, and it comes through in this book. He teaches by allowing space for students to discover "ways of seeing" for themselves. This book does not merely increase our store of knowledge, but actively reconfigures the way that our knowledge is percieved
