“Self-Knowledge and Self-Deception, while well written and engaging, is a scholarly work filled with references … . the author is quite good at guiding the reader by being very explicit about what he aims at, noting how he differs from Socrates, and so forth. … Students who have a certain level of mastery of philosophy and its concepts will enjoy this book, as will other philosophers who are grappling with similar topics.” (Finn Janning, Metapyschology, metapsychology.mentalhelp.net, April, 2016)
