What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
The funny and practical guide on how to handle the liars in your life, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Surrounded by Idiots.
Studies suggest two people who have never met before will tell three lies within the first five minutes. Astonishing, yes. But why do people lie? And how can you spot deception before it hurts you?
In Surrounded by Liars, behavioural expert and bestselling author Thomas Erikson unpacks the psychology of lying and how dishonesty affects our relationships, confidence and decision-making.
Using his signature four-colour model, he explains how different personality types lie—and how you can detect their tactics. You’ll learn how to:
Recognise subtle cues and half-truths
Understand the motives behind common lies
Confront dishonesty with calm and clarity
Protect yourself from emotional manipulation
Insightful, entertaining and empowering, Surrounded by Liars will help you to detect the liars in your life and shatter their deception for good!
