Lying: Why We Lie, When Is It Necessary, and How to Detect Signs of Deception in Others

Lying, Why We Lie, When Is It Necessary, and How to Detect Signs of Deception in Others

In a 2002 study performed by the University of Massachusetts, it was found that 60% of adults will lie at least once in a 10-minute conversation. Other studies have estimated that each of us is lied to, on average, around 200 times per day. Whilst lying is clearly part of our everyday lives, it is still an enigma to most of us.

This guide will try and break this enigma and take you through the reasons why we lie and even what lying is and what lying isn’t. You will also learn about the thoughts and emotions people experience when they lie, as well as how to distinguish a compulsive liar from a regular person.

On top of this, this guide will explore the ethics of lying. Most people agree lying is necessary, at least in certain situations, but where do we draw the line? Whilst this book doesn’t pretend to know the answer to this difficult question, the solutions of other commentators will be considered as well as thought experiments to help readers make up their own minds.

We will also tackle the consequences of lying, both on the relationships a person has with other people, but also how lying can affect how your brain works. Finally, this eBook will also offer some advice on how to lie less for anyone who may be struggling with compulsive lying or chronic dishonesty themselves.
