Everybody lies. Some lies and their consequences are small such as a childhood fib, and are soon forgotten. Others and their ramifications are big, such as a pact to maintain peace. All lies have consequences proportional to their impact on the liar and the lied-to. Lies can be intentional and vindictive or innocent slips of the tongue…exaggerations to attract attention and impress … feed egos to raise self- esteem … and many other reasons, as reading this provocative book will demonstrate. Lies and their consequences or punishments are disguised in many, varied garbs. This book identifies the top 15 categories of lies, and explains each with livid examples. The book concludes with an admonition to shun lying behaviors and find happiness through truth.
