Radical honesty

In 'Radical Honesty,' Brad Blanton argues that lying is a primary source of stress and that telling the truth, even if it is uncomfortable, is essential for personal transformation and deeper connections with others.

The book challenges readers to drop their masks and embrace vulnerability, suggesting that moralism and the constant self-censorship it promotes are detrimental to happiness.

Blanton's approach is described as a 'shock program' aimed at breaking free from self-destructive scripts and false personas, promoting mindfulness and authentic living.
