We often behave in ways that we like to think we don’t. We resolve this common contradiction through self-deception, “the active mis-representation of reality to the conscious mind” (Trivers, 2000). This chapter is about the way in which self-deception supports our ability to think of ourselves as the hero of our own narratives, when in fact we have been anything but.

Abstract

We often behave in ways that we like to think we don’t. We resolve this common contradiction through self-deception, “the active mis-representation of reality to the conscious mind” (Trivers, 2000). This chapter is about the way in which self-deception supports our ability to think of ourselves as the hero of our own narratives, when in fact we have been anything but.
