Conclusion Self-deception is both an unconscious phenomenon AND a societal norm… Overcoming it, therefore requires: ◦ 1) knowing you’re in contrast with society and building the self-esteem to handle that, and ◦ 2) understanding the subconscious mind and gaining self-directing power over the that aspect of thinking. This entails radical honesty, learning psychology and mastering the deep levels of thought.
