What does it mean to say, ‘I am pleasure’ or, ‘I am love’, instead of simply saying I seek pleasure or I seek love? When we consider these statements in the first person present tense, how do we feel about them? Remember Ghandi’s famous quote: ‘Be the change you want to see in the world’. Being the change may include being the pleasure and the love we wish to see in the world. Twenty-one Levels of Self-Deception looks at these very personal questions of love, pleasure, beauty and grace. The book seeks to explore them within the broad contexts of human thought — always mindful, as the title suggests — that in arriving at 'final' answers we are often, if not always, deceiving ourselves.
