The Lying Ape by Brian King
We tell an average of six lies a day, psychologists believe. This work unravels the extent of the deceit that surrounds us, and the lies we tell ourselves to preserve our precious self-esteem. It also reveals how scientists can observe the brain as it suppresses the awkward truth in favour of the convenient lie.
