Description
Born Liars: We All Do It. But Which One Are You? Lying is an integral part of human nature, and understanding its role in our lives can be just as revealing as the lies themselves. In this thought-provoking exploration, Ian Leslie delves into the psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy behind deception, examining how lies shape our childhoods, careers, health, advertising, politics, sport, and war. Drawing on a diverse range of thinkers, from Augustine to Joni Mitchell, Leslie argues that lying is not just a flaw in human software, but rather a fundamental aspect of who we are. By uncovering the dynamics of deceit, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the world. This book will challenge your perceptions of truth and fiction, and encourage you to think differently about lies - and life - from now on.
