Lying by Sam Harris

      In one of his most recent essays, bestselling and award-winning author and neuroscientist Sam Harris has explained and demystified the simple concept of not lying. By just simply telling the truth where others would lie, specifically the use of “white lies,” Harris defines a simple and effective way to radically ease some difficulties of everyday life. It may take some getting used to, but the simple and surefire methods Harris describes with his personal anecdotes and hypothesized situations are positive to make an impact on the way you interact with those around you.

       A very thought provoking and smartly worded piece, Harris’s essay Lying is a must read for those who wish to have a fresh way of seeing things.
