This bestseller and word-of-mouth phenomenon shows how the problems that typically prevent superior performance in organizations and cause conflicts in our personal lives are the result of a little-known problem called self-deception.

And what if, therefore, we unwittingly perpetuate the very problems we are trying to solve? These are among the important questions explored in this book.
