Denial
The Uncomfortable Truth About Being Human
Denial: The Uncomfortable Truth About Being Human explores the widespread tendency to reject or ignore fundamental aspects of human nature and collective behaviour.
In this thought-provoking exploration, Daniel Brynmor reflects on how society frequently suppresses or ignores the fundamental elements of both the individual and group psyche, leading to a disconnection from genuine human potential.
The author investigates how denial seeps into every facet of life, shaping our perspectives, choices, and relationships. He writes this book as both a reflection and a guide, helping readers uncover their own unseen denials.
Brynmor tackles the uncomfortable truths that many choose to avoid, stripping away the layers of human experience to reveal the hidden, yet powerful, influence of denial, urging readers to confront the truths they’ve long ignored.
Subjects: Ethics, philosophical pessimism, cynicism, conformity, social criticism, social philosophy, social psychology, human nature, crowds and herds, the self, cognitive biases

Book Q&A
What brought you to write Denial?
As I mention in the book, I have always been fascinated by how people behave socially, especially in irrational ways. Discussing herd mentality with laypeople often makes them uncomfortable. A friend of mine, who initially scoffed at the mention of crowd psychology during one of our conversations, inspired me to explore the denial of crowd psychology. This, in turn, led me to examine other aspects of humanity that people tend to avoid confronting.
Did you already publish this book?
Denial, is a reprised and very updated version of my initial draft, Denial of Human Nature, which I did indeed publish under a different psuedonym (Braidd Unig). I reprised it for the very simple fact that I rushed it’s release with many formatting and grammatical mistakes. Hopefully this reprised version is an improvement.
