520    From the New York Times best-selling author and host of 
       Hidden Brain comes a thought-provoking look at the role of
       self-deception in human flourishing.    Self-deception 
       does terrible harm to us, to our communities, and to the 
       planet. But if it is so bad for us, why is it ubiquitous? 
       In Useful Delusions, Shankar Vedantam and Bill Mesler 
       argue that, paradoxically, self-deception can also play a 
       vital role in our success and well-being.   The lies we 
       tell ourselves sustain our daily interactions with friends,
       lovers, and coworkers. They can explain why some people 
       live longer than others, why some couples remain in love 
       and others don't, why some nations hold together while 
       others splinter.   Filled with powerful personal stories 
       and drawing on new insights in psychology, neuroscience, 
       and philosophy, Useful Delusions offers a fascinating tour
       of what it really means to be human.
