Why Lying Works

I was first intrigued when I read the title of this book. We live in a world where everyone lies so we might as well accept the fact that people will lie to benefit themselves or someone else---this is the concept that the author discusses in his book. Not all lies are bad---sometimes people lie to spare someone else's feelings---but there are many reasons why people lie. And yet, as individuals we are influenced by the lies that people tell us.

There are actually some very insightful thoughts in this book. I like how the author, Brett Carter uses a lot of great quotes from very notable leaders in order to get his point across. He discusses the evolution of lying, from the moment we enter the world at birth, to the day we die. The book is an easy read and filled with a lot of wisdom. The quotes alone is reason enough to get this book. The author's take on lying is an interesting and though-provoking one. I recommend this book.
