Why we lie /

Rowe, Dorothy.

Why we lie / Dorothy Rowe. - London : Fourth Estate, 2010. - xx, 364 p. ; 25 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"Because we are frightened of being humiliated, being treated like an object, being rejected, losing control of things, and, most of all, we are frightened of uncertainty. Often we get our lies in before any of these things can happen. We lie to maintain our vanity. We lie when we call our fantasies the truth. Lying is much easier than searching for the truth and accepting it. We lie to others, and even worse, we lie to ourselves"-- Book jacket.
