I'm presently reading a book called Psycho-Cybernetics. It's rather old. I got it for free from an estate sale. Looked interesting because it has Psycho and Cybernetics in it; where could I go wrong?!
The main thesis is that the subconscious is a machine for doing things. Like a machine, it only reacts to data. It makes no judgement calls on the data. The goal of a person is to use their conscious mind to filter the information the doing machine gets. It was one of the first cognitive behavioral therapy books.
The book advocates sleeping on it for the reason given. The mind will process the data and come to a conclusion. The trick is to managing the data to get a good conclusion.
