Description
Out of Character: Surprising Truths About the Liar, Cheat, Sinner (and Saint) Lurking in All of Us
This book turns our understanding of human nature upside down. Psychologists David DeSteno and Piercarlo Valdesolo argue that our character is not a stable set of traits, but rather a shifting state influenced by hidden mechanisms in our minds.
Drawing on the results of their laboratory experiments, DeSteno and Valdesolo shed new light on puzzling behaviors that often make headlines. They explore why people behave in certain ways, such as why someone with a perfect family at home might cheat on their partner, or why investors might gamble away their fortunes.
