Why We Lie
Why we deceive ourselves and one another, and what those lies cost, from a psychologist who spent her career listening.
Dorothy Rowe examines why people lie to others and, above all, to themselves. She argues that because the brain only ever gives us its own interpretation of the world, we are always open to deceiving ourselves, and that fear drives most of the lies we tell. Her examples range from family life to politics and the 2008 financial crisis.
