You just read about the bookshelf, the forty books, and the fault line running through all of them. Now it's time to find out which algorithm you're running.
Your brain is already running one of two algorithms — Truth or Deceit — and you didn't consciously pick which one.
Across forty books on character, influence, and self-deception, the same fault line kept showing up: processing reality as it is, vs. a manipulated version of it.
Once you see the line, you can't unsee it. Which means Chapter 1 already changed you — the rest of the book is about what to do about it.
