It's a fact: we all lie. And we lie a lot - two to three times in a ten-minute conversation is the average, as Robert S Feldman, one of the world's leading authorities on deception, shows in this groundbreaking book. From the 'white lies' of social niceties ('It's so nice to see you') to lies told with intent ('I promise to give you 20% of the total funds transferred to your vital bank account'), deception and dishonesty play a huge - and crucial - role in our society at every level, from the school yard ('I didn't do it!') to the halls of government ('Iraq could launch weapons of mass destruction in 45 minutes'). Feldman draws on numerous examples from real life as well as research into deception to reveal why. You'll discover the truth about lying - why we all do it, what it costs us, how children learn to lie, who it benefits, why we're so often ready to accept the lies we're told, and how it can both succeed in helping us and fail with catastrophic results. You'll also learn to recognise the lies you yourself tell, and in doing so how you can embrace a more honest approach to life. It's an intriguing look at a major force in our lives - the everyday deception in which we all participate. Because anyone who says they always tell the truth is a liar.

Aus dem Klappentext
When was the last time you lied? When was the last time you were lied to? The answer is going to surprise you.
Research shows that on average strangers lie to each other three times in a ten minute conversation. In fact, deception and dishonesty play a huge - and crucial - role in our society, from the 'white lies' of social niceties (ever told someone they looked 'great' and not really meant it?) to the lies that people tell with intent to deceive and mislead.
Robert Feldman is one of the world's leading authorities on deception. He has spent years studying how and why we all lie and now, in this fascinating work, he reveals the unsettling truth about lying.
You'll discover the real reasons we tell lies and why we so readily accept the lies of others (including the people we love). You'll find out how children learn the art of deception - and why it's bad news if they don't. You'll also learn how lying benefits us, and what it costs - from the life-destroying results of intentional deception, to the 'smudge' left on social interactions by 'white lies', which actually create a climate for greater deception. Above all you'll learn to recognise the lies you yourself tell (and the lies you tell yourself), and how you can embrace a more honest approach to life.
Drawing on numerous examples from real life, as well as years of original research, this is an intriguing look at a major force in our lives - the everyday deceptions in which we all participate.
Because anyone who says they always tell the truth is a liar.
