Internationally bestselling author Ariely pulls no punches when it comes to home truths. Previous titles PREDICTABLY IRRATIONAL & THE UPSIDE OF IRRATIONALITY have becomes classics in their field, revealing unexpected & astonishing traits that run through modern humankind. Now acclaimed behavioural economist Dan Ariely delves deeper into the dark & murky recesses of contemporary psychology, daring to ask the big questions: What makes us cheat?

If you've ever wondered how a whole company can turn a blind eye to evident misdemeanours within their ranks, whether people are born dishonest & whether you can really be successful by being totally, brutally honest, then Dan has the answers, & many more.
