Truth, Lies and Self-Deception
Description
It is not an unusual human trait to imagine we are good when we are not, that we are loved when this is implausible, that we are selfless when we are selfish. But deep down, don't we know the truth? Can’t we see ourselves clearly if we want to? Or is self-deception real, in which case, who is doing the deceiving? The Panel President of the Royal College of Psychiatry Simon Wessely, author of Nothing Janne Teller, and UCL neuroscientist Parashkev Nachev seek answers.
