Summary: When Chesley Sullenberger's plane became disabled over New York City his quick thinking saved the lives of all those aboard. Neil Armstrong relied on the same combination of split-second decision-making and gut instinct to override a computer glitch and manually land Apollo 11 on the Moon. This program explains the science behind gut feelings and makes the point that conscious thoughts are actually fed to us by the unconscious mind. Experts including Allan Snyder, Helen Fisher, and John Bargh discuss the neurophysiology of falling in love, decision-making, bias, and more, and Snyder presents a test of "thinking outside the box" in which viewers can participate.
