How to Use Leadership and Self-Deception We have been gratified and amazed at the range of uses that people have made of Leadership and Self-Deception. Although it is styled as a book about business, readers have recognized that its foundational ideas apply to every aspect of life--from building a lasting marriage, for example, to raising children, and from driving organizational success to achiev- ing personal fulfillment and happiness. Whether at work or at home, the applications are wide and various. It has been interesting to hear from readers about ways they are using the book. We have found that its many uses fall within five broad categories of human and organizational experience. We encourage you to add your own uses of the book to the discussion about the book's uses on Arbinger's on- line community, which you can access at www.arbinger.com.
