Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A maxim closes like a trap. The reader walks in agreeing and leaves caught in something they had not consented to believe.In the tradition of La Rochefoucauld, Marcus Aurelius, and the great moralists of the European salon, The Undeceived Heart offers a contemporary collection of maxims on…human nature. The salon has become the group chat. The courtier performing virtue for a monarch is now the person performing authenticity for a digital audience. Human nature has not changed; only its setting has.Across ten chapters and one interruption, Surinder Lall examines the disguises self-love wears, the costumes interest puts on, and the small fictions that hold the social fabric together. The book moves through self-deception, virtue and its imitations, love and its accounting, friendship and flattery, ambition and the career self, the performance of mind, courage and its evasions, fortune and merit, ageing and regret, and what remains when we stop deceiving ourselves about why we do what we do.A taste of what is inside: We are the most unreliable witnesses to our own motives and the most credulous audiences for our own excuses.Virtue is most eloquently defended by those who have most recently needed to defend it.A friend is someone who knows us well enough to flatter us convincingly.Most ambition is simply the fear of insignificance in formal dress.Success is usually luck that has had time to construct a convincing narrative.To see oneself clearly is not the same as thinking badly of oneself. It is merely to stop lying.Written in short, declarative sentences with classical economy, The Undeceived Heart is a book to keep beside the desk, the bedside table, or the place where you sit when you are most honest with yourself. It is not a comfortable book. It is, however, a generous one. It assumes the reader can take the truth.For readers of: La Rochefoucauld's Maximes, Marcus Aurelius's Meditations, Pascal's Pensees, Nicolas Chamfort, Lichtenberg's Waste Books, E. M. Cioran, and the School of Life essays.The undeceived heart is not a cold one. It loves with its eyes open, which is to say, it loves for real. In the tradition of La Rochefoucauld and the great moralists of the salon, The Undeceived Heart is a contemporary collection of maxims on human nature. Across ten chapters and one interruption. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
