The Dark Art of Lying. Real Tactics of Deception. How to Recognize and Neutralize Them

James Scott is a professor at the University of Chicago, an expert in the psychology of influence, and the author of the international bestseller "Dark Psychology and Manipulations".

We lie far more often than it seems. And even more often we believe others' lies.

In this book, James Scott examines how and why people distort reality—from harmless omissions to elaborate manipulations. You will learn how lies are born, what forms they take, and why we so often prefer to ignore the obvious.

The book teaches you to read between the lines, recognize discrepancies in words and behavior, as well as understand hidden motives—in personal relationships, at work, and in public spaces.
