![]() Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. ![]() ![]() Most would take umbrage at being informed they tell at least six lies a day but, except for hermits and misanthropes, the tally is probably far higher. Much linguistic intercourse comprises lies – black, white, and every colour in-between. Brian King expounds and these and Yellow Lies, told out of cowardice, Purple Lies of exaggeration, Blue Lies of law and order, Green Lies of self-serving environmentalists, and Grey Lies – casual everyday deceptions. Salesmen, politicians and journalists all come under the spotlight, but King reminds us most lies are told simply to ease the path of social discourse. We are al liars for the greater good – and who can condemn that? sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

This book received phenomenal coverage in hardback, including an extended author interview by Philip Schofield and Fern Britton on "This Morning" and a feature by John Humphrys in the "Daily Mail". It is full of real life stories from real people. It is from the bestselling co-author of "Beyond Coincidence", called 'a first-rate book' by the "Observer". We tell an average of six lies a day, psychologists believe. In this witty and engaging book Brian King unravels the full extent of the deceit that surrounds us, from politicians, ad-men, journalists and salesmen to our partners and children - and the lies we tell ourselves to preserve our precious self-esteem. He looks at some of the great liars of history, reveals how scientists can observe the brain as it suppresses the awkward truth in favour of the convenient lie, and advises on the best techniques for spotting a lie through body language and verbal slips.
