The Illusion of Truth. Why does our brain strive to deceive itself and others?
9.99 €
People lie. Lies permeate every aspect of our lives, from advertising and politics to medicine and education. Is society to blame? Or is our brain naturally set up to distort information? Where is the line between self-deception and optimism? And in what situations is untruth more valuable than truth? Science journalists Shankar Vedantam and Bill Mesler show how deception has shaped humanity and reveal the role that lies play in the modern world. Drawing on scientists' research, crime reports, and life stories, they explain how to capitalize on delusions and stop thinking other people are crazy for their outlandish views. And why the truth is not always what it seems.
