X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>We will be discussing <em>Useful Delusions
 : The Power &amp\; Paradox of the Self-Deceiving Brain </em>by Shankar Ved
 antam and Bill Mesler.&nbsp\;From the&nbsp\;New York Times&nbsp\;best-sell
 ing author and host of&nbsp\;<em>Hidden Brain</em>&nbsp\;comes a thought-p
 rovoking look at the role of self-deception in human flourishing. Self-dec
 eption does terrible harm to us\, to our communities\, and to the planet. 
 But if it is so bad for us\, why is it ubiquitous?&nbsp\; Vedantam and Bil
 l Mesler argue that\, paradoxically\, self-deception can also play a vital
  role in our success and well-being. The lies we tell ourselves sustain ou
 r daily interactions with friends\, lovers\, and coworkers. They can expla
 in why some people live longer than others\, why some couples remain in lo
 ve and others don&rsquo\;t\, why some nations hold together while others s
 plinter. Filled with powerful personal stories and drawing on new insights
  in psychology\, neuroscience\, and philosophy\,&nbsp\;Useful Delusions&nb
 sp\;offers a fascinating tour of what it really means to be human. (From t
