The honest truth about dishonesty
Book • 2012
In 'The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty', Dan Ariely uses several experiments to investigate the nature of dishonesty.
He shows that dishonest behavior is not solely driven by rational cost-benefit calculations but is influenced by psychological factors such as the desire to maintain a positive self-image and the impact of external conditions like fatigue and hunger.
Ariely also examines how business practices and social environments can foster or mitigate dishonest behavior.
The book provides insights into why people cheat, how often they do it, and the consequences of such actions, while also offering strategies for promoting honesty in everyday life.
