Summary "The Omnipotent Self: A Study in Self-Deception and Self-Cure" by Paul Bousfield is a psychological exploration written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the themes of self-deception, mental health, and personality development, with a particular focus on the concept of narcissism and its impact on individuals’ lives. Bousfield aims to assist readers in understanding the complexities of their inner selves in order to attain a greater sense of balance and happiness. The opening of the book sets the stage by emphasizing the existence and significance of the unconscious mind in shaping human behavior and character. Bousfield discusses how many individuals, despite not suffering from overt mental ailments, experience various degrees of unhappiness and irritability in their lives. He suggests that deeper insights into one’s character and the nature of unconscious forces can lead to self-awareness, ultimately fostering personal growth and contentment. Through this early discussion on the unconscious, repression, and the development of narcissism, the author begins to map out a process for self-analysis and the potential for self-cure.
