Summary
This third edition of an international best-seller - more than two million copies sold worldwide and translated into 33 languages - details how its powerful insights on motivation, conflict, and collaboration can benefit organizations as well as individuals.
Since its original publication in 2000, Leadership and Self-Deception has become an international word-of-mouth phenomenon. Rather than tapering off, it sells more copies every year. The guide's central insight - that the key to leadership lies not in what we do, but in who we are - has proven to have powerful implications not only for organizational leadership but in listeners’ personal lives as well.
Leadership and Self-Deception uses an entertaining story everyone can relate to about a man facing challenges at work and at home to expose the fascinating ways we blind ourselves to our true motivations and unwittingly sabotage the effectiveness of our own efforts to achieve happiness and increase happiness. We trap ourselves in a “box” of endless self-justification.
Most importantly, the audiobook shows us the way out. Listeners will discover what millions already have learned - how to consistently tap into and act on their innate sense of what’s right, dramatically improving all of their relationships.
This third edition includes new research about the self-deception gap in organizations and the keys to closing this gap. The authors offer guidance for how to assess the in-the-box and out-of-the-box mind-sets in yourself and in your organization. It also includes a sample of Arbinger’s latest best-seller, The Outward Mindset.

Excellent approach - life changing potential
I think this is an excellent book because it gives so much more accessible and effective approach to addressing a really hard problem. Do you really change your mindset and behaviour needs a lot of self awareness and effort. This book really helps with the self-awareness.

great book to self reflect with
the content of the book was great, its definitely food for thought. But it takes some time getting used to how its set up, as if you follow a work meeting. it's odd but the message is clear so it's worth it.

Transformative
I wish this were mandatory reading for everyone. It is a powerful idea. I liked that the focus was as much on relationships at home as at work.

Eye opening
This book offers a concise insightful look into how self-deception affects every part of our lives. Through an engaging story, the book reveals the ways we blind ourselves to the truth providing hope and practical strategies for change. Great read for corporate leaders, activists and parents, the book clearly explains the concepts of being in the box and out of the box with relatable examples. It is written by a group of experts, rather than a single author, adding to the depth of experience and knowledge. It is a perfect mirror for self reflection, giving us the tools to confront our behaviours and begin the journey towards authentic leadership and healthier relationships. Excited to read the sequel the Anatomy of Peace
