Description
Discover the profound journey of self-exploration with 'The Inner Self', a captivating trade paperback that dives deep into the essence of our true identity. This enlightening book, published in 2020 by Pan Macmillan Australia, presents a fascinating analysis of how we often shield ourselves from the truth about who we are. With 320 pages of insightful revelations, Hugh Mackay, one of Australia’s most esteemed psychologists, delves into the top 20 ways we hide from our authentic selves, from addiction to materialism and nostalgia to victimhood.
Through his compelling narrative, Mackay examines the powerful forces that keep us in denial, revealing that our fear of love's demands often drives us into these hiding places. He argues that love is not only our highest ideal but also the cornerstone of a meaningful existence, providing emotional security, personal serenity, and self-confidence. This book challenges us to confront the paradox of human nature: while love brings out our best, we frequently resist fully embracing that greatness.

'How can I get in touch with this real self, underlying all my surface behaviour? How can I become myself?' Carl Rogers, US psychotherapist
The Inner Self 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 explains how it is our fear of love's demands that drive us into hiding.
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, The Inner Self is a work of extraordinary insight by one of Australia's most respected psychologists.
