Surrounded by Liars
How to handle the liars in your life, from the million-copy-bestselling author of Surrounded by Idiots.
From the Sunday Times bestselling author of the international phenomenon Surrounded by Idiots comes a captivating exploration of deception in Surrounded by Liars. In this gripping and insightful book, Thomas Erikson delves into the intricate world of lies and deceit, offering keen psychological insights and practical advice.
Studies suggest that two people who have never met before will tell three lies within the first five minutes. Astounding. But why?
Erikson uncovers the myriad reasons why people lie, even when they know it's wrong. Is it to protect the people we love? To paint ourselves in a better light? To win short-lived praise? Or are there far more obscure reasons behind our propensity to lie? He addresses these questions with a blend of scientific research, real-world examples, and his unique behavioural model.
In Surrounded by Liars, Erikson, an international bestselling author and behavioural expert, unpacks the psychological reasons behind why we lie and reveals the profound impact lying has on our relationships. By understanding the motivations behind lies, readers gain valuable insights into their own behaviour and that of those around them.
With the help of the behavioural model made famous in Surrounded by Idiots, readers will discover effective strategies to detect the liars in their lives and shatter the webs of deception for good. Erikson's approach is both empathetic and analytical, ensuring that readers are equipped with the tools they need to foster honesty and integrity in their personal and professional lives.
Erikson's method combines a rich mixture of psychology, behavioural analysis, and personal development, making Surrounded by Liars a must-read for anyone looking to navigate the complex landscape of human interactions and improve the quality of their relationships. Dive into this fascinating exploration and learn how to identify, understand, and ultimately manage the liars who inevitably cross your path.
