Join Leah Dahl for a book talk on Lying by Sam Harris. The talk features the ethical dilemmas presented in the book and seeks to answer the ethical question about whether, if ever it is good to lie.
In Lying, bestselling author and neuroscientist Sam Harris argues that we can radically simplify our lives and improve society by merely telling the truth in situations where others often lie. He focuses on “white” lies—those lies we tell for the purpose of sparing people discomfort—for these are the lies that most often tempt us. And they tend to be the only lies that good people tell while imagining that they are being good in the process. Borrow it now!
