From Washington to Wall Street, the classroom to the workplace, unethical behavior is everywhere. None of us is immune, whether it's a white lie to head off trouble or padding our expense reports. In \u003cem\u003eThe (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty\u003c\/em\u003e, award-winning author Dan Ariely shows why some things are easier to lie about than others; how getting caught matters less than we think in whether we cheat; and how business practices pave the way for unethical behavior, both intentionally and unintentionally. Ariely explores how unethical behavior works in the personal, professional, and political worlds, and how it affects all of us, even as we think of ourselves as having high moral standards. But all is not lost. Ariely also identifies what keeps us honest, pointing the way for achieving higher ethics in our everyday lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith compelling personal and academic findings, \u003cem\u003eThe (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty\u003c\/em\u003e will change the way we see ourselves, our actions, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAriely, Dan:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eDan Ariely is the bestselling author of \u003cem\u003ePredictably Irrational, The Upside of Irrationality\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty\u003c\/em\u003e.
