One of the world's leading authorities on deception, psychology professor Robert Feldman now offers fresh insights into how and why we lie, how our culture has become increasingly tolerant of lying, the cost it exacts on us, and what to do about it. In this at-once surprising and sobering work, Feldman presents corrections for common myths about mendacity. He reveals-despite our beliefs to the contrary-how it is nearly impossible to spot a liar and explores ways we can cope with infidelity, betrayal, and mistrust in our friends and family. Written with incisive clarity and wry wit, this is an eye-opening, truthful book for anyone whose life has been touched by deception-that is, every one of us. Book jacket.
