Showing results for "the liar" in Relationships

The author's unique approach considers the ways in which lying sculpts our realities when used by public figures such as politicians, as well as how lying is woven into our everyday life. This book dissects lies in natural social contexts, from the innocent childhood fibs to the more nefarious fabrications of con artists, cheats, and adulterers. Drawing from a rich tapestry of psychology and sociobiology, as well as research and literature from philosophy and the social sciences, this book discusses the role of lying and liars in day-to-day life.

You enter into a relationship, thinking that everything will be wonderful. There will be romance, intimacy, reciprocity, and love. There will be partnership, generosity, emotional support and communication. Then...wham! You find yourself the victim of mind control, gaslighting, abuse, circular conversations, compartmentalization, triangulation, and more.
