Lying: why telling the truth is always better. Harris C.

It is sad, but the fact: it is unlikely that there is at least one capable person who did not ravine at least once or twice the other or himself on the whole earth. For many, a lie becomes a panacea, for someone she is a favorite entertainment, someone, for example politicians and businessmen, use it as one of the instruments of the profession.

Sam Harris dissects the famous "non-commercial" sin, revealing his negative The parties, and with the help of numerous examples, proves to us: a lie, even the smallest, weapon of terrible destructive power. Under his blows, neither authority, nor many years of friendship, nor strong relations can not resist. You yourself will not notice how, carried away by lies, you will not be able to do without it and lose the most expensive trust in loved ones. The author teaches us not to fall on the hook and convinces us that it is much more profitable to openly tell the truth even in the most difficult situations.
