Description
In Lying, best-selling creator and neuroscientist Sam Harris argues that we will radically simplify our lives and fortify society by merely telling the truth in situations where others incessantly lie. He makes a speciality of “white” lies—those lies we tell for the purpose of sparing people discomfort—for these are the lies that most incessantly tempt us. And they have a tendency to be the only lies that good people tell whilst imagining that they’re being good in the process.
