The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty

Dan Ariely

Drawing on extensive research and several original experiments, in “The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty,” Dan Ariely examines the complex nature of lying that turns out to be governed by two contradictory forces: the economic – compelling you to take advantage of people and situations – and the psychological – driving you to see yourself as an essentially good human being.
