Transcript

So, ladies and gentlemen, I have tried to show in my brief lecture just how factual are the case histories on applied psychology contained in my newest book.

Are there any questions? Mr. Mary. Oh yes. Mr. Mary, if as you say, the subconscious is the stronger of our two minds. Why doesn't it dominate us most of the time? A very good question.
