New book ‘Lies, Lying and Liars: A Psychological Analysis’ published by Routledge.
April 2024The book is a new take on the psychology of lying, starting with lies in everyday life and all their messy consequences. Pathological liars are covered, as are the ‘Big Lies’ of politicians.
Professor Marcel Danesi from the University of Toronto wrote:
“While mendacity is an innate trait of humans, the reasons why it has become so prominent remains obscure, until one reads Geoff Beattie’s brilliant synopsis….This book is both an in-depth analysis of human lying and a basis for insulating oneself from the inevitable future."
