'''''Quantum Psychology: How Brain Software Programs You & Your World''''' is a book written by science-fiction writer [[Robert Anton Wilson]], originally published in 1990.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/news/2007/jan/18/guardianobituaries.usa ''The Guardian'', 17 January, 2007]</ref> It deals with what Wilson himself calls "quantum psychology,"<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/13/obituaries/13wilson.html ''New York Times'' obituary, January 13, 2007]</ref>

Like Wilson's earlier volume ''[[Prometheus Rising]]'', ''Quantum Psychology'' features practical exercises to demonstrate its concepts at the end of each chapter (this time intended for groups rather than a lone reader). It focuses primarily on the [[metaphysics|metaphysical]] and [[epistemology|epistemological]] problems of [[Organon|Aristotelean reasoning]] and its use in everyday language, covering [[E-Prime]] (Wilson wrote the book in E-Prime) and how it addresses many of the [[semantics|semantic]] (and resulting perceptual) "spooks" that common language lets in.

It also covers [[psychosomatic]] healing and a possible explanation for it; non-local effects in [[quantum physics]] ([[Bell's theorem]]) and the theories of [[David Bohm]]; and a brief recap of the [[Timothy Leary]] [[eight circuit model of consciousness|eightfold consciousness theory]] of human consciousness which ''Prometheus Rising'' covers in greater detail.
