Carl Rogers, US psychotherapist</b><i><b>The Inner Self </b></i>is a book about the ways we hide from the truth about ourselves and the psychological freedom we enjoy when we finally face that most searching question of all: 'Who am I, really?'Hugh Mackay explores our 'top 20' hiding places - from addiction to materialism, nostalgia to victimhood.

He argues that love is our highest ideal, the richest source of life's meaning and purpose, and the key to our emotional security, personal serenity and confidence.Yet Mackay exposes the great paradox of human nature, that while love brings out our best, we don't always want our best brought forward.Powerfully written and drawing on a lifetime of research, <i><b>The Inner Self</b></i> is a work of extraordinary insight by one of Australia's most respected psychologists.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Hugh Mackay is a social researcher and bestselling author of 21 books, including<i> What Makes Us Tick, The Good Life </i>and <i>Australia Reimagined. </i>He has had a 60-year career in social research, and was a weekly newspaper columnist for over 25 years.
