"Why We Lieis written with snap, panache, and the sort of insights that stop you in your tracks. Its subject--deception, trickery, pulling a fast one, conning other humans and conning ourselves--is critical to understanding the evolution of the human mind. Getting a handle on deception is crucial to understanding the self with which you and I live from second to second every minute of our conscious and our dreaming lives." - Howard Bloom, author ofGlobal BrainandThe Lucifer Principle "David Smith has pulled off a beaut. Freud, Darwin, Machiavelli (and, oh yes, Liz Smith) meet around the poker table of life.Why We Lieis a wonderfully blended cluster of arguments to support the painful truth that we are a species whose skills at deceiving others is matched only by our ability to deceive ourselves." - Arthur S. Reber, author ofThe Penguin Dictionary of PsychologyandThe New Gambler's Bible "Self-deception is one of the most powerful ideas in psychology, indeed, in human affairs, and David Smith'sWhy We Lieis an excellent synthesis of this crucial topic. The biology is up-to-date and accurate, the psychological implications are clearly worked out, and the writing is inviting and accessible." - Steven Pinker, bestselling author ofThe Blank SlateandThe Language Instinct, " Why We Lie is written with snap, panache, and the sort of insights that stop you in your tracks.
