It deconstructs it, analyzes it, then returns it to the reader as a mirror in which to see themselves. Between philosophy and irony, it reveals the causes of its emergence and forms of its appearance, shedding light on the infiltration of falsehood into truth, and truth into falsehood, until it becomes difficult to distinguish between them. We lie more than we think. We lie when we feel fear, when we want to appear better, and when we convince ourselves that we are not lying, in an overlap between awareness and denial. Sometimes we lie to achieve a certain goal, and sometimes just because the truth is heavier than we can bear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA book for those who dare to confront the truth... even when it is embarrassing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOscar Brenifier is a doctor of philosophy, coach, consultant, and author.
