An Anatomy of Lying

About the Book

This remarkable work explores deep into human psyche and the society to reveal the secret of our startling susceptibility to deceptions, and the heroism required to pursue truth.

To different people, same event could make fundamentally different impressions, causing different responses, and ultimately leading us to our different destinies. For example, while topsy-turvy childhood produces subconscious filters that distort the world, peaceful and loving childhood nurture confidence, therefore allowing the subconscious filters to report reality to our consciousness.

In the society, the educational, business, economic, political, and international systems cast lies upon us, with the help of nature's antagonistic laws. Only with gallant efforts and through torturous courses, we may, through understanding and taking actions, reach the promise land of honesty, freedom, tranquility, and happiness.
