​"Badura's experience as an educator is evident in the systematic and engaging way she lays our her rationale, evidence, and conclusions.  In particular, I really enjoyed her conversational tone...books drawing on this much scientific evidence tend to be dry and academic, but Badura presents the information in a straightforward manner that is easy to follow.  I found this book so engrossing and thought-provoking, I felt compelled to grab a pen and start taking notes and add questions, thoughts and ideas of my own.  This is going to be a book people are going to want to talk about with family, friends and co-workers."

The average person tells at least six lies a day.  Is it any wonder we struggle to sort fact from fiction int he modern world? Thanks to remarkable increases in the speed and ease of information sharing, the ability to critically judge the integrity of information around us is more necessary now than ever before.  Luckily, it is possible for any individual to evaluate information in a much more critical fashion, based largely upon a simple process of deductive reasoning.

​This book explores the elements of truth and fiction across the expanse of our daily lives.  Through examination of public figures and members of popular culture  who have been caught in the act of deception, the reader is encouraged to consider what information can best be used to judge the legitimacy of any event, as well as considering our culpability in perpetuating a culture of deceit.  From the evolution of deception to the private fictions we tell ourselves, this book will guide the reader to a new perspective on the role of lying in modern society.
