Most forms of private vice and public evil are kindled and sustained by lies. Acts of adultery and other personal betrayals, financial fraud, government corruption--even murder and genocide--generally require an additional moral defect: a willingness to lie. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLying\u003c\/i\u003e, best-selling author and neuroscientist Sam Harris argues that we can radically simplify our lives and improve society by merely telling the truth in situations where others often lie. He focuses on \"white\" lies--those lies we tell for the purpose of sparing people discomfort--for these are the lies that most often tempt us. And they tend to be the only lies that good people tell while imagining that they are being good in the process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Four Elephants Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781940051000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.60h x 4.30w x 0.70d","brand":"Sam Harris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36671460802716,"sku":"9781940051000","price":14.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_64fee46b-e251-4f90-b62f-6fcee9b73a66.jpg?v=1603925449","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/lying-9781940051000","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
