Viac o knihe
We tell an average of six lies a day, psychologists believe. So the next time you speak to someone, the chances are that you will tell a lie. Or that you will be lied to. With his characteristic wit, Brian King unravels our world of deceit, exposing the deceptions of politicians, ad-men, journalists and second-hand car salesmen, as well as the subtler falsehoods and white lies we tell our partners and children.He looks at some of the great liars of history, reveals what scientists have discovered about our lying brain, and advises the best techniques for spotting a liar.Amusing and revealing in equal measure, this penetrating exploration of the duplicity of modern life will make you think again about the extent to which we hear - or speak - the truth.
