The omnipotent self, a study in self-deception and self-cure

"The Omnipotent Self: A Study in Self-Deception and Self-Cure" by Paul Bousfield is a study of the human mind that suggests self-awareness is the key to unlocking personal growth. The book looks at how the unconscious mind impacts behavior. It argues that many people experience unhappiness, even if they aren't mentally ill. Bousfield suggests understanding one's own character and unconscious thoughts can help people become more self-aware and happier, which could lead to a type of self-healing. The author discusses how things like hidden feelings and the growth of selfishness can be explored to promote self-understanding.
