This book examines who lies and why, identifies six types of lies and liars, and suggests how to protect yourself from manipulation.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEveryone lies, perhaps to protect the feelings of another, perhaps to secure a deal that will, in the end, benefit all parties. But where is the line between a \"good lie\" and a harmful prevarication--and how do we recognize and protect ourselves from the latter? In \u003ci\u003ePlaying the Lying Game: Detecting and Dealing with Lies and Liars, from Occasional Fibbers to Frequent Fabricators\u003c\/i\u003e, accomplished author Gini Graham Scott shares psychological insights into lying that will help answer such questions--and many more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eScott examines every facet of lying, including its history, cultural connections, and motivations. She identifies six types of lies and liars and explains how to detect each type, whether one is confronted with the occasional fibber or a sociopathic, compulsive liar. The book covers lies told in business and politics, lies among friends, lies between dates, married couples, and family members, as well as lies we tell our ourselves. Finally, Scott offers a Lie-Q Test that will help us see how savvy we are--or are not--in detecting fibs, mistruths, and downright deceptions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gini Scott,PhD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313383510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313383519\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2010 pg. 16","brand":"Gini Scott","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48152962760959,"sku":"9780313383519","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2c4c0c0e-370a-4db6-b4da-88a02242fc8a.jpg?v=1770780372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/playing-the-lying-game-gini-scott-9780313383519","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
