Leadership and Self-Deception by The Arbinger Institute

If stepping outside of your comfort zone is one of the best things you can do for self development, then this book is worth its weight in gold.

'Leadership and Self-Deception' covers how we (subconsciously) systematically blind ourselves to our real motivations, then wonder why our relationships and results suffer — telling ourselves stories that cast us as the hero and others as the obstacle. It's these exact stories that keep us stuck.

The book exposes those patterns that sabotage us in the workplace, at home, and in every relationship that matters. But as you also might imagine, it shows us how to break free from them.
