The Truth Advantage

A New York Times bestselling author and television personality shows you how to use the truth to your advantage in every aspect of your life
From "I have a headache" to "I don't remember that," studies show that most of us lie once or twice a day. While some lies are considered "white lies," other lies can destroy relationships, careers, and lives.

Using news stories, court cases, and personal anecdotes, she teaches you the seven ways to unlock the Truth Advantage and gives you practical techniques to improve all aspects of your life, from your job to your relationships. This book will also equip you with your own personal lie detector--the secret to finding out when people are not telling you the truth--and then gives you advice on precisely what to do when that happens.
