Self-deception

"Self-deception" as a category for books encompasses works that delve into the psychological and philosophical aspects of how individuals deceive themselves to avoid facing uncomfortable truths or realities. These books explore the mechanisms and motivations behind self-deception, such as cognitive biases, denial, and rationalization, and examine the impact of these behaviors on personal growth, relationships, and decision-making. Through a mix of theoretical insights, case studies, and practical advice, this genre aims to illuminate the often subconscious processes that lead people to construct and maintain false beliefs about themselves and their circumstances, ultimately offering pathways to greater self-awareness and authenticity.

    A witty, paradoxical psychological guide that demonstrates how people unwittingly create and perpetuate their own unhappiness through distorted thinking, rigid expectations, blaming, and constant comparison; using short anecdotes and ironic 'instructions,' it exposes common self-defeating patterns and invites readers to recognize and abandon them to live more freely.
