The Liar in Your Life: The Way to Truthful Relationships Audiobook

" The gist - if something is important, assess the truth of it. The advice - try to be more honest. Lots of anecdotes, lots of psych studies, and an attempt to name each kind of lying - a "lie with intent" for instance. An interesting read. "
