The Honest Truth About Dishonesty: How We Lie to Everyone - Especially Ourselves by Dan ArielyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Only the small portion of people will stay honest all the time while most of us lie (?). Based on experiments, we are constantly going back and forth between moral code and rational calculation.
Gladly it was never plenty enough. We lied just slightly because we assume it would never hurt anyone, while in fact if all of us did it, will deliver a nasty one. We lied when tired to face the same question all the time. We also lied smoothly when we thought it's for the greater good, for the welfare causes, and for comforting others. The so-called white lies.
We even lied to ourselves. We entertain our thought to the place we want to stick with, to escape from fact and reality.
This book covers a variety of creative experiments in figuring out how we lie. Although it seems complicated, the explanation is easy to understand.
A must-read book if you want to be a con or just want to avoid one.
