Description
Summary:Thinking about ourselves, and thinking about what psychological attitudes we have to the things around us, is the introspective approach to self-actualization. 'The Anatomy of Experience' explores recent results in the cognitive sciences and shows that what we think we see in ourselves, introspectively, is false.
