Why People Lie: The Science Psychology, and Consequences - Part One

Is telling the truth always the “right” thing to do? Are there occasions when it’s OK to lie? What causes chronic lying?

How do you know when someone is NOT telling the truth? As it turns out, lying is something that everybody does. Yes, all of us. Even the good guys and gals.

Lying is a part of every culture and it is directly related to the level of trust and cooperation between people.

Join us to take a look at how lying impacts us all, and what can be done about it.
