Surrounded by Liars

Studies suggest two people who have never met before will tell three lies within the first five minutes. But why? Why do we choose to lie even when we know it's wrong? To not hurt people we love? To present ourselves in a better light? To win short-term points and praise? In his new book behavioural expert Thomas Erikson will help you recognise the different types of lies we tell and will reveal the psychological reasons behind our lies.
