Description
Born Liars: Why We Can't Live Without Deceit Lies are an integral part of human nature, and Ian Leslie explores this idea in his thought-provoking book. From the role of deception in our childhoods to its presence in advertising, politics, sport, and war, Leslie examines how lies shape our lives. Drawing on a range of thinkers, including Augustine, Darwin, Freud, and Joni Mitchell, Leslie argues that lying is not just a minor flaw in human nature, but rather an essential aspect of who we are. By understanding the dynamics of deceit, we can gain insight into ourselves and the world around us. This book challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about lies and life, offering a fresh perspective on the complex role of deception in our lives.
