This Time I am Not Lying, Like I was the Other Times.

No. 838

To tell the truth, we all know people who overuse expressions that affirm that they are not lying, at least not this time.  There is a new  book on the subject written by Duke Psychology Professor Dan Ariely, whose writings on application of experimental psychology to everyday problems are, honestly, legendary.  A sample from the new book, “The Honest Truth About Dishonesty” was printed in the Wall Street Journal this weekend.

Ariely is the author of  the 2008 classic “Predictably Irrational”  It is one of the best books I have ever read, I swear to God. If you hurry, you can read it before “The Honest Truth about Dishonesty” is released on June 5.  I ain’t  lying.
