Vital Lies Simple Truths : the Psychology of Self-Deception by Daniel Goleman
From the bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence comes a penetrating analysis of the many ways we deceive ourselves.Daniel Goleman draws on evidence of all kinds--from brain function to social dynamics--to reveal how we skew our most intimate relationships, our day-to-day lives, and our common reality by burying painful insights and memories. This self-deception is our means of psychic self-preservation, the currency of survival in which an entire society colludes. But although self-deception is sometimes benign, it can also be dangerous and life-diminishing. This important book both illuminates and raises challenging questions about a subject that is central to our psychological existence.
Daniel Goleman is a well-known psychologist and the author of several books, including Emotional Intelligence and Social Intelligence: The New Science of Human Relationships, which has been translated into over 30 languages. He is a resident of Hartford, Connecticut.
