This title uses examples from a global and individual scale to create an engaging piece of contemporary non-fiction which also offers a brilliant insight into why we lie, from little white lies right up to the lies the bankers told themselves when they were gambling with billions.

About the Author:
Dorothy Rowe was born in Australia in 1930, and worked as a teacher and child psychologist before coming to England, where she obtained her PhD at Sheffield University. From 1972 until 1986 she was head of Clinical Psychology. She is now engaged in writing, lecturing and research, and is world-renowned for her work on how we communicate and why we suffer. Her books include ``Wanting Everything', ``Beyond Fear' and ``Time On Our Side'.
Review:
`Rowe asks why we tell lies and puts the answer down to a mixture of vanity and terror....all pretty toxic, as far as personal relationships are concerned, but Rowe goes further: our failure to tell the truth is behind all manner of ills, from the current economic crisis to global warming...scary stuff, but Rowe is so wise that you begin to think it might be possible to change' Guardian 'Rowe has a clear, easy style...[she] is accurate in her perceptions, and persuasive in her presentation of them...she paints a nuanced picture of why lying is always dangerous, and why we should cultivate an attitude of considered scepticism' TLS 'Her analysis is gripping, astute and incisive...parts of this book are hilarious' FT `[A] seer... with qualities that place her between sainthood and genius' Fay Weldon
