The New York Times bestselling author of Predictably Irrational
and The Upside of Irrationality returns with a thought-provoking
work that challenges our preconceptions about dishonesty and urges
us to take an honest look at ourselves.
Does the chance of getting caught affect how likely we are to
cheat?How do companies pave the way for dishonesty?Does
collaboration make us more or less honest?Does religion improve our
honesty?
Most of us think of ourselves as honest, but, in fact, we all
cheat. From Washington to Wall Street, the classroom to the
workplace, unethical behavior is everywhere. None of us is immune,
whether it's a white lie to head off trouble or padding our expense
reports. In The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty, award-winning,
bestselling author Dan Ariely shows why some things are easier to
lie about than others; how getting caught matters less than we
think in whether we cheat; and how business practices pave the way
for unethical behavior, both intentionally and unintentionally.
Ariely explores how unethical behavior works in the personal,
professional, and political worlds, and how it affects all of us,
even as we think of ourselves as having high moral standards. But
all is not lost. Ariely also identifies what keeps us honest,
pointing the way for achieving higher ethics in our everyday
lives.
With compelling personal and academic findings, The (Honest)
Truth About Dishonesty will change the way we see ourselves, our
actions, and others.
