Book Reviews of Vital Lies, Simple Truths: The Psychology of Self-Deception

Book Review: Must read book for anyone interested in psychology.
Summary: 5 Stars

First, this is one of my favorite books. I almost did not find this book or read it because I was not so impressed with Goleman's books on emotional intelligence. I picked this up and started reading, and I could understand right away that this book as different from any other psychology book I had read.

VLST was written for the professional, yet is understandable for the layman as well. The intuitive way it is written with clear examples of behavior allows any reader to follow a complex line of logic through the entire book and learn quite a bit about how the mind works and how delicate our minds are.

I cannot say or stress how wonderful I think this book is, it must have been dearly inspired for the care and inclusiveness it possesses.

It is so clear that humans have incredible capabilities, and yet we cannot seem to use them in many cases, especially on the social or cultural level ... and part of the reason has to be out ability to lie to ourselves. This book dissects and explains the mechanism here, and is one of the most important books I can recommend to people.
