Автор:Dorothy Rowe Год: 2010 Издание:Fourth Estate Страниц: 384 ISBN: 9780007357970 We all lie - to protect our vanity, to avoid uncertainty, to maintain our fantasies. Lying has played a major part in climate change and the global economic crisis, yet we are happy to ignore how widespread it is. Unless we are willing to face unpleasant truths, it is likely to do more In public and private spheres, in important and insignificant matters, we damage ourselves with our lies and we damage other people. Lies destroy mutual trust and fragment our sense of who we are. In this brilliant analysis, acclaimed psychologist Dorothy Rowe offers us the chance to understand how and why we lie, and suggests that we might just be capable of changing - if only we choose to do so.
