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

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 metaphysical and epistemological problems of 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 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 eightfold consciousness theory of human consciousness which Prometheus Rising covers in greater detail.
