About This Book
“A lively tour through the impulses that cause many of us to cheat, the book offers especially keen insights into the ways in which we cut corners while still thinking of ourselves as moral people.” — Time Dan Ariely, behavioral economist and New York Times bestselling author of Predictably Irrational and The Upside of Irrationality, returns with a thought-provoking work that challenges our preconceptions about dishonesty and urges us to take an honest look at ourselves.

Our Review
This collection of behavioral economics insights explores the surprising psychology behind why even good people cheat and bend the rules. Dr. Ariely presents compelling research showing how we rationalize dishonesty while maintaining our self-image as moral individuals, challenging the assumption that cheating is primarily driven by cost-benefit analysis. The work digs into the cognitive biases and situational factors that make cutting corners feel justifiable, revealing that dishonesty is often more about internal storytelling than external consequences.
What makes this exploration of human behavior so compelling is its blend of academic research with relatable, real-world examples that illuminate our own potential for irrationality. Readers interested in psychology, ethics, and understanding the gap between who we are and who we think we are will find these insights both unsettling and transformative. The book ultimately provides a mirror for examining our own moral flexibility while offering practical wisdom about creating environments that encourage honesty.
