Why do we sometimes hide from our selves, and where are we hiding?

In his latest book The Inner Self, social researcher Hugh Mackay explores our top twenty hiding places, including busyness, perfectionism, guilt, ambition, work and even the pursuit of happiness. 

In this conversation, we talk about how creativity can narrow the gap between who we pretend to be or hide, and who we really are.
