"The Folly of Fools: The Logic of Deceit and Self-Deception in Human Life" by Robert Trivers

This is one of the greatest books I have ever read!

As Winston Smith said in "1984" by George Orwell, we always love an author that says what we are thinking but says it better than I can say it myself.

I woke up at 3 am this morning my mind filled with ideas about how this book ties into Ayn Rand's Objectivist Epistemology (measurement as a means to avoid self-deception) and how it ties in with the Project Management Institute's "Project Management Body of Knowledge" (PMBOK) in that measurement is a project manager's job [because it makes the "unconscious" [or deceptive] conscious].

I won't even mention the depth that it adds to the "Fourth Way" literature! Finally get some solid scientific support!

I encourage everyone to read this book as soon as you can, it can change your life at every level from idle moments to work, from politics, from sacred to secular!
