The Curse of the Self: Self-awareness, egotism, and the quality of human life
Leary, Mark R. (Professor of Psychology, Professor of Psychology, Duke University, USA)
Although the capacity for self-awareness is an essential aspect of human nature, self-reflection comes at a high price. Self-awareness and its accompanying egotism profoundly affect people's lives, interfering with their success, polluting their relationships with other people, and undermining their happiness. Drawing from work in psychology and other behavioural sciences, in The Curse of the Self, Mark Leary explores personal and social problems that arecreated by the human capacity for self-reflection and offers insights regarding how these problems may be minimised.
