Leadership and Self-Deception (3rd Edition): getting out of the box [Large Print Format]

For too long, the issue of selfdeception has been the realm of deepthinking philosophers, academics, and scholars working on the central questions of the human sciences. The public remains generally unaware of the issue. That would be fine except that selfdeception is so pervasive it touches every aspect of life. Touches is perhaps too gentle a word to describe its influence. Selfdeception actually determines ones experience in every aspect of life. The extent to which it does that, and in particular the extent to which it is the central issue in personal and professional leadership, is the subject of this book. Leadership and SelfDeception, first published in the year 2000, became an international bestseller. Launched with no fanfare when Arbinger (and its work) was little known, the book generated tremendous wordofmouth momentum. Sales of the book continue to grow at an increasing rate even today, and the book continues to appear on bestseller lists around the world, many years after publication. The book is currently available in more than twenty languages.
