People lie. Lies permeates all aspects of our lives - from advertising and politics to medicine and education. Is it to blame for this? Or is our brain by nature tuned to distorting information? Where is the border between self -deception and optimism? And in what situations is not true than truth?
Scientific journalists Shankar Vedantam and Bill Mesler show how deception formed humanity and reveal the role that lies plays in the modern world. Based on the research of scientists, criminal reports and everyday stories, they explain how to benefit from errors and stop considering other people madmen because of their strange views. And why the truth is not always what it seems
