The Truth about Lying: With Some Differences Between Men and Women by Stephen J. Costello
3.0
This book is full of short, easy-to-read essays about lying. I'd like to think that lying is relatively pointless because the truth will always contradict you eventually. This book shows you that there are many ways to lie, even in ways that we wouldn't immediately consider what we're doing to be a lie.
A part of me was annoyed by this book by how often he cited philosophers I don't like, and Freud, who I think is a real weirdo who was obsessed with his mother in an unnatural way. But because I was flying through the pages with ease, I have to give it three stars. Not only was it thought-provoking but it was in plain language that anybody could read. I appreciated that because it wasn't at all obnoxious like most nonfiction psychology books.
