Author: Aja Raden
ISBN: 9781250272027
Description
Publisher's Synopsis
Lying is pervasive. So pervasive that we have almost as many words for it as the Aleutians have for snow: prevaricating, fibbing, stretchng the truth, of omission, of commission. Dividing her large topic into three sections - the lies we tell each other, the lies we tell ourselves and the lies we all agree to believe - Raden's book is as much about belief as about deceit. Buttressed by a winning mixture of history, psychology and science, Raden explores everything from swindles to cons to the long game to the big lie.
