That view is supported by recent scientific work showing that much of our behavior is based on very rapid, instinctive, emotionally based responses. Although we are capable of deciding what to do on the basis of rational thought processes, such decisions often prove less powerful than our instinctive feelings in moving us to action.
而这种观点也得到了最近的科学研究的支持，研究显示我们的大部分行为都是基于非常快速，直觉和感性的反应。尽管在理性思考的基础上，我们有能力下决心去做什么，但在驱使我们行动的过程中，这些决心与人自身的直觉较量起来，通常都是软弱无力的。
