Dishonesty As a Global Currency

In any social setting, lies keep the world from falling apart, becoming the real global currency:

  • Organizations and their employees routinely lie to preserve identity, protect the reputation of an individual or group

  • We lie to ourselves and consistently believe we are smarter or better looking that we really are.
  • We lie on social media.
