Download Lies We Tell Ourselves: The Psychology of Self-Deception AudioBook Free
Humans are excellent liars. We can't stand to think about ourselves as with the capacity of lying; it hurts us too much to confess. So we lay to ourselves about this, too. As the specialized medical psychologist, I am regularly confronted with the brutal real truth that we all lay. I am not talking about deliberate, bold-faced lying. No, this kind of dishonesty is much harder to find and admit. It really is the type of lying that comes from not being psychologically strong enough to be honest with ourselves about who we are. And I believe it is our biggest obstacle to living a fulfilling life. I wrote this book for anyone thinking about becoming more genuine. In it, I present a range of self-deceptive good examples couched in mental health theory to help us explore ourselves. Though it is a relatively short book designed to be read in about an hour-I desire that the content provokes deep thought. For only when are genuine about who we are really do we have the chance to change.
