In this book, Jason Kido Lopez argues that self-deception is a matter of intentionally using the strategies and methods of interpersonal deception on oneself. This conception demonstrates interesting connections between Sartre's notion of bad faith, interpersonal deception and lying, pretense, wishful thinking, akrasia, and unintentional biases.
