Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book that sets the record straight on classroom inaccuracies, from erroneous history and wobbly geography to sloppy science and bad math. Everyone knows that you shouldn’t believe everything you read in the newspapers, hear on TV, or find on the Internet, but you don’t expect the same advice to apply to what you learned at school. Well, think again, because you can guarantee there’s heaps of stuff in your head that you’ve been taught that just isn’t true, or it if is, has been dumbed down so much as to be just plain wrong. And that’s before you even begin to consider the political bias that may have been added to your schooling. If you don’t believe us, read this book and you’ll discover how much dodgy information you’ve been carrying around in your noodle all these years.

Book excerpt: In Seven Ways We Lie, a chance encounter tangles the lives of seven high school students, each resisting the allure of one of the seven deadly sins, and each telling their story from their seven distinct points of view. The juniors at Paloma High School all have their secrets, whether it’s the thespian who hides her trust issues onstage, the closeted pansexual who only cares about his drug-dealing profits, or the neurotic genius who’s planted the seed of a school scandal. But it’s Juniper Kipling who has the furthest to fall. No one would argue that Juniper—obedient daughter, salutatorian, natural beauty, and loyal friend—is anything but perfect. Everyone knows she’s a saint, not a sinner; but when love is involved, who is Juniper to resist temptation? When she begins to crave more and more of the one person she can’t have, her charmed life starts to unravel. Then rumors of a student–teacher affair hit the fan. After Juniper accidentally exposes her secret at a party, her fate falls into the hands of the other six sinners, bringing them into one another’s orbits. All seven are guilty of something. Together, they could save one another from their temptations—or be ruined by them. Riley Redgate’s twisty YA debut effortlessly weaves humor, heartbreak, and redemption into a drama that fans of Jenny Han and Stephanie Perkins will adore.
Book Synopsis Would I Lie to You? by : Judi Ketteler
Download or read book Would I Lie to You? written by Judi Ketteler and published by Citadel. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would it mean to commit to unconditional honesty and what impact might that have on our lives? Inspired by her popular New York Times article, "How Honesty Could Make You Happier," award-winning journalist Judi Ketteler takes a deep dive into the hard truths about honesty, from the personal to the political... We're incensed by politicians who lie and corporations that cheat, but when it comes to our own honesty choices, we often barely notice. So, what happens when we do notice? Judi Ketteler thought of herself as an honest person. And yet, she knew it wasn't the whole story... How often was Judi engaging in the same dishonest behavior she was condemning in others? To answer that question, she started her "Honesty Journal," and set out to confront her perennial fear of speaking the truth in a range of situations--including with friends, her kids, and even inside her complicated marriage. The result is a timely consideration of the joys and pains of truth in a world that seems committed to lying.
Book Synopsis Lessons in Deception by : Ramie Tawers
Download or read book Lessons in Deception written by Ramie Tawers and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-08-19 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 60% of people can't go can't go 10 minutes without lying. In 'How to tell a Lie', Ramie Tawers shows how society depends on people lying to each other. He then explains deception as a science, and provides several exercises throughout the book that will help the reader become more adept at deception. We never hear of successful liars because they don't get caught. It takes someone from within the industry of deception to write about it. Politics; Law; Pharmaceuticals; Journalism; Advertising; Business; Religion; Intelligence. These are just a few fields that hire professional liars to carry out their work. Through several case studies on US Presidents, Businessmen, Politicians and Criminals, Tawers illustrates the principles of deception at work in the real world. From how President Trump insures himself against the consequences of his lies to how a billion dollar company operated by selling a nonexistent product, the case studies in 'How to tell a lie' are truly eyeopening. Ramie provides his own experiences with compulsive as well as professional liars and discusses deception at a depth that has never been seen before. By reading this book you will learn to control your body language to fool investigators, manipulate context to deceive people without having to tell a single lie, learn to probe people for their weaknesses, plant false evidence, cover up events, successfully use false premises in arguments, employ deception on the internet and on other social platforms, and how to deal with the consequences of deception as well as other legal matters. Ramie has substantial experience dealing with liars and wishes to break the taboo surrounding the subject. This is a must read for anyone interested in psychology, sociology, or history, as deception is often the least discussed and most important factor in all human interactions.
