Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One hundred years before Sigmund Freud, Thomas Jefferson wrote an extraordinary letter, in which he created a dialogue between the two sides of himself -- between what he called "my Head" (the conscious mind with its rationality, and rules), and "my Heart" (the unconscious, the source of our passions, sexual behavior, and so on). As he explores the unconscious. DeGregorio tells stories about people's behavior that show how the unconscious determines so much, and to analyze the meaning under the surface of otherwise inexplicable events.Focusing on the Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky affair, he also tells the story of Robert, Linda other ordinary people who find themselves doing things they can't explain. The ideas in this book help to illuminate why so many world leaders have private lives that don't seem to match up with their great public personalities, and it argues for keeping the private lives of leaders private. Provocative, revealing, "My Head And My Heart" provides insight into so many human situations, the quandaries that arise from conflicts within, between the head and the heart.
