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.

Does the chance of getting caught affect how likely we are to cheat?

How do companies pave the way for dishonesty?

Does collaboration make us more or less honest?

Does religion improve our honesty?

Most of us think of ourselves as honest, but, in fact, we all cheat. 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 The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty, 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.

With compelling personal and academic findings, The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty will change the way we see ourselves, our actions, and others.

Honest, Truth About Dishonesty: How We Lie to Everyone–Espe Book Description

Readers will discover a fascinating look at why we cheat, even when we think of ourselves as moral. This engaging English book from Kalimat Bookstore Online blends short experiments, real‑world stories, and clear explanations. Dan Ariely, the bestselling behavioral economist behind Predictably Irrational, challenges common beliefs about honesty and shows how small choices shape big outcomes.

The story moves from Washington to Wall Street, from classrooms to kitchens. Meanwhile, Ariely reveals that most of us tell white lies, pad expense reports, or bend rules without even noticing. He asks: Does the chance of getting caught really matter? How do companies create environments that encourage cheating? The answers are surprising and often counterintuitive.

In each chapter, the author uses simple experiments to illustrate complex ideas. For example, participants were less likely to cheat when they wrote their initials on a receipt. Additionally, group settings sometimes increase honesty, while competitive pressure can do the opposite. These findings help readers recognize hidden cues that affect their own behavior.
