The bestselling author of Surrounded by Idiots delivers another endlessly fascinating study into human behaviour, exploring our astounding capacity and proneness to tell lies and well as the multitude of reasons behind it.
From the Sunday Times bestselling author of the international phenomenon Surrounded by Idiots.
Studies suggest two people who have never met before will tell three lies within the first five minutes. Astounding. But why?
'Why do we choose to lie even when we know it's wrong? To protect the people we love? To paint ourselves in a better light? To win short-lived praise? Or, are there simply far more obscure reasons behind why we lie?'
In Surrounded by Liars, international bestselling author and behavioural expert Thomas Erikson unpacks the psychological reasons behind why we lie, and reveals the impact lying has on our relationships.
With the help of the behavioural model made famous in Surrounded by Idiots, discover how to detect the liars in your life and shatter their deception for good!
