I got this book from my sister for Christmas. Thanks, Maddi! I was surprised I'd never heard of it--it's apparently quite well known in the business world. It's definitely a business book, about how we deceive ourselves at work (and home) by failing to see others as people. It's told in a narrative--we follow Tom as he learns from his boss Bud and others at Zagrum Company. The narrative format makes the book very digestable. As a fan of concrete examples and stories, this book delivered--every new idea is introduced with stories and actual examples, rather than elaborating on research.
Leadership and Self-Deception has actually benefited me at work, and caused me to understand why some of my work relationships weren't exactly where I wanted. Definitely a good read for anyone who interacts with other people. :)
