Discover the hidden forces that shape your decisions and limit your potential in Bad Faith Explained: Understanding Self-Deception, Authenticity, and Freedom in Philosophy. Drawing on the existentialist insights of Jean-Paul Sartre and other great thinkers, this book reveals how we often lie to ourselves to avoid responsibility, protect our comfort, and escape the anxiety of freedom. From everyday excuses to the deep rationalizations that define our roles, it examines the subtle ways bad faith operates in our personal lives, relationships, politics, and even our online identities.

Through clear explanations, real-world examples, and thought-provoking analysis, you will learn to recognize the signs of bad faith and understand the psychological mechanisms that sustain it. Each chapter explores a different dimension of the concept—its philosophical origins, its role in self-deception, its impact on relationships and public life, and its presence in religion, spirituality, and the digital age. By connecting timeless philosophical ideas to the challenges of modern living, this book makes complex concepts accessible and deeply relevant to everyday experience.

Whether you are a student of philosophy, a seeker of personal growth, or simply someone who wants to live more authentically, Bad Faith Explained offers practical guidance for overcoming self-deception and embracing freedom with courage. You will finish with the tools to question the narratives that hold you back, align your actions with your values, and live a life defined by honesty, integrity, and self-awareness. In a world filled with distractions, this book will help you choose truth over comfort—and authenticity over illusion.
