Sinossi
"Menzogna, autoinganno, illusione" è l'analisi acuta e approfondita di quei territori sconosciuti della mente umana, di quelle vere e proprie "zone d'ombra" in cui l'individuo relega, dimenticandosene immediatamente, le sensazioni spiacevoli e i ricordi dolorosi. "Menzogna, autoinganno, illusione" è l'analisi acuta e approfondita di un aspetto della personalità umana che presenta ancora diversi lati oscuri e si manifesta nella tendenza a ingannare se stessi e gli altri sui problemi e sulle contrarietà della vita. Si tratta di territori sconosciuti della mente umana, vere e proprie "zone d'ombra" in cui l'individuo relega, dimenticandosene immediatamente, le sensazioni spiacevoli, i ricordi dolorosi e qualunque considerazione negativa che riguardi se stesso, coloro che ama e il mondo in generale. La meta è un nuovo modo di vedere le cose e trasformare emozioni negative in sentimenti positivi. Comprendere noi stessi per comprendere gli altri.

Finished Vital Lies,Simple Truths: The Psychology of Self-Deception by Daniel Goleman over the weekend. While probably the least exciting book I have read recently - it reminded me quite a bit of my psychology texts from college - the content held enough allure to pull me through it. Even with my pr Leggi tutto
Great discussion of group think.
I thought this was an interesting book into the world of self-denial. I would describe the book as a whirlwind tour on the topic. This book offers little practical advice on how to solve self-denial (At the end it briefly mentions finding awareness from an unbiased third party). Instead, it describe Leggi tutto
The author draws arguments from Freudian theories and debates the extent to which information is stored in our long-term memories with apt detail provided through contrasting opinions of scholars such as Norman, Broadbent and Shevrin through concepts such as having “blindsight”, “lacuna”, “repressio Leggi tutto
My father-in-law gave me this book at some point in the nineties. I remember wondering why this book, as he otherwise didn't give me books. His daughter later revealed to me that he thought I lied when telling a story about seeing a white-tipped reef shark while snorkeling in Maledives. This was at
Quite a surprise read. Found it full of interesting and useful information. Really identifies well many of the deceptions we play on ourselves in protect ourselves in some form.
