Editorial Reviews:
The "disease" of self-deception (acting in ways contrary to what one knows is right) underlies all leadership problems in today's organizations, according to the premise of this work. However well intentioned they may be, leaders who deceive themselves always end up undermining their own performance.

This straightforward book explains how leaders can discover their own self-deceptions and learn how to escape destructive patterns. The authors demonstrate that breaking out of these patterns leads to improved teamwork, commitment, trust, communication, motivation, and leadership.

Summary: A life changing experience
Comment: After having read and taught both personal and group dynamics for over thirty years I was overwhelmed to find that this book had paradigm changing perspective. I would recommend it to everyone in both personal and corporate settings. The sequel "Anatomy of Peace" was even better as it added more detail and would appeal to the non-corporate environment as well.

Summary: Outstanding Book
Comment: This is a great book with amazing insights into human nature. The concepts are applicable to anyone, not just leadership. I'm leading some of my non-management employees through a discussion of the book. They seem to really identify with the book.

Summary: Absolutely insightful
Comment: After reading this book, I had to read it again. I was reading it for a training and I explained to my Trainer that this book is a "good ouch". If you want to change your way of being in relationships, if you want transformation in your company, applying the principles from this book will definately bring a transformation. I recommend this book to everyone from student, husband, wife and executive. Cheri
