The Omnipotent Self (Illustrated Edition‪)‬

Explore the hidden habits of the human mind in The Omnipotent Self – Illustrated Edition, a classic psychological study of how people deceive themselves in order to cope with emotional conflict.

Written by physician and psychological observer Paul Bousfield, this work examines the belief in personal mental “power” as a response to fear, anxiety, and inner tension. Rather than condemning self-deception, the book explains its purpose—and its limits—while offering insight into healthier forms of self-understanding.

• Modern Kindle-friendly formatting
• Original foreword and author profile
• Improved chapter navigation

Ideal for readers of early psychology, mental health history, and personal development, this edition presents a thoughtful and visually enriched way to engage with a foundational work on the nature of the self.
