Hear one of Australia’s most respected social psychologists, Hugh Mackay AO, talk about his new book The Inner Self. He explains the differences between our ‘inner’ and ‘social’ selves and, in the process, takes us to the heart of what it means to be human.
In this conversation, he will examine the ways we try to hide from the truth about ourselves - both as individuals and as human beings. Hugh explores our 'top 20' hiding places - from addiction to materialism, nostalgia to victimhood. He will describe the psychological freedom we enjoy when we finally face that most searching question of all: ‘Who am I, really?’
Hugh will also draw on his new novel, The Question of Love, to add a more intimate dimension to his exploration of the mysteries of human love.
Hugh will be In-Conversation with The Honourable Reverend Dr Lynn Arnold AO FAICD.
