Summary:
Do you believe in telling the truth? Sure you do. But even thats a lie because we all lie. Whether to protect a friend, to make someone feel better, or to avoid telling even bigger
lies
later,
lying
is actually central to human nature. Usually were taught that
lying
is bad, and thats that. But in reality, its rarely so black and white. Kira Vermonds latest book answers questions like: Why do we lie? What types of
lies
are there? What are the consequences of
lying
? What methods are used to detect
lies
? And when is it okay or even good to lie? From forgeries and hoaxes to plagiarism and placebos,
Half-Truths
and
Brazen
Lies
offers historical anecdotes, scientific studies, and sociocultural analyses to help unpack the complex world of untruths. Told in a witty, conversational tone with an index and full-color illustrations, the book takes a thorough, nuanced approach to a fascinating aspect of human behavior.
