Jonathan M. Adler
This authoritative handbook reviews the state of the science of self-knowledge, a key emerging area in psychology. Leading investigators describe innovative theory and research that is shedding new light on how—and how accurately—people perceive their own traits, thoughts, feelings, behavior, and relationships.

The volume explores the personal and societal benefits of self-knowledge and also considers possible ways to enhance it.
