The Liar in Your Life looks at liars, how they work, and gives some insight into how
often you’re lied to in a day. When asked if they remember the last time they were lied to,
most people will tell you the story of how the automobile salesman lied to them about gas
mileage or another feature of the car they are trying to sell. Little do they consider
that the clerk in the dry cleaning shop also lied when he said it was a pleasure to do your
laundry. That, in all probability, was as big a line as a salesman's. He probably wasn’t
pleased at all.
Lies can be told by your best friends, and often are. The little white lie to save your
feelings is a "nicety" that is a social norm. Few people really want to hear the absolute
truth about how they look or how well they perform in a musical recital or something similar.
We don’t want to hear how badly we play the piano or sing, or that those tight jeans show off
every defect in our bodies. We want to be complimented instead of hearing the bare truth.
Sometimes, we must choose between saving someone’s feelings or telling the truth. Other
times, the truth is that we cannot trust the person who is lying to us. I have run into
that kind of person myself. This was a case where the liar was also a thief. The lie turned
into a felony. These are the kinds of liars we want to spot before they do damage.
This book will give you some insight into how all liars operate and how to spot the lie
before you swallow anything that person says. Give this book a listen and keep yourself out
of trouble.
