The Honest Truth About Dishonesty: How We Lie To Everyone--Especially Ourselves

A lively tour through the impulses that cause many of us to cheat, the book offers especially keen insights into the ways in which we cut corners while still thinking of ourselves as moral people. Dan Ariely, behavioral economist and New York Times bestselling author, explores why some things are easier to lie about than others, how getting caught influences cheating, and how unethical behavior manifests in various spheres of life. The book discusses how business practices pave the way for dishonesty, how collaboration, religion, and personal morals relate to honesty, and identifies ways to maintain higher ethics in daily life.
