Honesty: How self-deception robs us of meaning

By Daniel Clément

This book is about being more honest, not about finding The Truth. There's a reason for this. Looking for the truth can be a way out of having to be honest with ourselves on a daily basis. Once the final truth has been found, in the form of The One in a romantic relationship, The One in religion, or any other field of endeavor, we feel we can relax knowing the work has been done - and often by somebody or something else. In contrast, being honest isn't a final destination, it is a process by which we engage with even apparently insignificant moments. It is a process of deconstruction in which we expose our vested interests rather than cater to them. It is a process that can be uncomfortable and can threaten the structures in our lives that are woven together by the warp and weft of limited self-interest and fear.
