Why We Lie
Dorothy Rowe
Ever wonder why we lie? Is it due to fear of being humiliated or being treated like an object? Does rejection, losing control, maintaining vanity and the fear of uncertainty play a part?
Often we get our lies in before any of these fears have a chance of becoming reality. We lie, white or otherwise, with little thought to the consequences. From well-known psychologist and author of Wanting Everything, Time On Our Side and Beyond Fear comes an exploration and explanation behind human nature and our ability to spin the truth.
Why We Lie is written with years of experience in both the field of psychology and life itself.
80-year-old Dorothy Rowe was elected as one of the six wisest people in the UK in 2004, and in 2007 was named one of the world's 100 living geniuses.
Born in Australia, she started her career as a teacher then moved to child psychology, completed a PhD in England and was appointed head of Clinical Psychology at Sheffield University.
She now engages in writing, lecturing and research, and is world-renowned for her work on how we communicate and why we suffer.
