The only real truth in life is that we all lie ...
Whether it's little white lies – "I love your new haircut" –, tall tales – "the fish was this big!" – or malicious deception, we all lie to some extent. So, why do we do it? And why are we so willing to accept the lies that are fed to us? Drawing on real-life examples, as well as authoritative research into the subject, Robert Feldman offers fresh perspective on this issue that affects us all, showing how lying can both help and hinder us. You'll also learn to recognise the lies you use in your own life, and how you can work towards a more honest way of living.
