About this listen
Is telling a white lie always the kind thing to do?
In this episode, we explore pro-social lying — the kind of deception people use to preserve harmony, protect feelings, and avoid conflict.
But is it always harmless? Or are we often just protecting ourselves from discomfort?
Topics include:
The psychology of white lies and emotional soothing
The empathy-accuracy paradox
How lies distort behavioural baselines
When kindness crosses into manipulation
The role of awareness and intention in everyday conversation
This is a candid, thought-provoking episode on communication, behavioural intelligence, and what it really means to be kind.
