Recommendation
Members of the Arbinger Institute have written an important book that has the potential to change the way you think, behave and live your life, both personally and professionally. This book simply and effectively addresses a core problem in human nature: self-deception. Presented as a series of conversations between two businessmen, one acting as a mentor to the other, the book walks you through the kinds of events that put you “in the box” of self-deception. Then, the book explains how you can get out of the box and, just as importantly, tells you how to avoid getting stuck in the box in the first place. The authors believe that self-deception is at the root of all conflict and lack of productivity. For that reason, getAbstract.com recommends this book to all who are concerned about motivation.
