Publisher's summary
Inspired by her popular New York Times article, "How Honesty Could Make You Happier", award-winning journalist Judi Ketteler takes a deep dive into the hard truths about honesty, from her own personal story to the exploding field of research on the subject, at a time when the world seems full of dishonesty - from elected officials, to corporate leaders, to tabloid-like fakery that gets passed off as news....
We all want the truth, don’t we? In fact, we demand it. We divorce spouses who withhold it. We insist our children practice it. We’re hurt when our friends don’t divulge it. We’re incensed by politicians who invent it. But when it comes to our own behavior, how often do we transgress? Out of diplomacy, kindness, sympathy, and privacy, we don’t always tell the truth. Yet we often barely notice. So, what happens when we do notice? When we truly focus on the decisions we’re making around honesty? When we view our entire life through the lens of honesty?
Award-winning journalist and New York Times contributor Judi Ketteler looked at her Facebook page and saw a content mother, a generous friend and sister, a good daughter, and a wife with a happy marriage. It wasn’t quite the whole story though. In thinking about all the truths she wasn’t revealing, Judi realized that the line between truth and deception was beginning to blur. How often had she herself paltered, exaggerated, concealed, side-stepped, or spun the truth? To answer that question, Judi started her "Honesty Journal". She set out to get to the bottom of her complicated relationship with honesty and confronted her perennial fear of speaking the truth in social situations, among friends, in the workplace, with her kids - and finally, inside her complicated marriage.
Blending her personal journey with the latest research into the psychology of deception, Would I Lie to You? is a timely consideration of the joys and pains of truth in a world that seems committed to lying.

Story
As it was in Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, and Othello, so it is in life. Most forms of private vice and public evil are kindled and sustained by lies. Acts of adultery and other personal betrayals, financial fraud, government corruption - even murder and genocide - generally require an additional moral defect: a willingness 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.

As David Brooks observes, “There is one skill that lies at the heart of any healthy person, family, school, community organization, or society: the ability to see someone else deeply and make them feel seen—to accurately know another person, to let them feel valued, heard, and understood.” And yet we humans don’t do this well. All around us are people who feel invisible, unseen, misunderstood. In How to Know a Person, Brooks sets out to help us do better, posing questions that are essential for all of us: If you want to know a person, what kind of attention should you cast on them?

Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable or to dare greatly. Based on 12 years of pioneering research, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage. Brown explains how vulnerability is both the core of difficult emotions like fear, grief, and disappointment, and the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, empathy, innovation, and creativity.

The rules for living in the real world have changed, because the world we live in has changed. Much of the conventional wisdom the last generation has passed on just doesn't apply like it once did. If you want to win, and win big, and, more importantly, keep what you work so hard for, you need a crystal-clear view of how the real world works - not how you wish it worked, but how it actually works.

Knowing how to transform conflict is critical in both our personal and professional lives. Yet, by and large, we are terrible at it. The reason, says longtime mediator Chad Ford, is fear. When conflict comes, our instincts are to run or fight. To transform conflict, Ford says we need to turn toward the people we are in conflict with, put down our physical and emotional weapons, and really love them with the kind of love that leads us to treat others as fellow human beings, not as objects in our way.

None of us had a perfect childhood; we are all carrying around behaviors that don’t serve us—and may in fact be hurting us. But it doesn’t have to be that way, says licensed marriage and family therapist Vienna Pharaon. Our past might create our patterns, but we can change those patterns for the better...with the right tools. In The Origins of You, Pharaon has unlocked a healing process to help us understand our Family of Origin—the family and framework we grew up within—and examine what worked (and didn’t) in that system.

What does it mean to be an adult? In the 20th century, psychologists came up with five markers of adulthood: finish your education, get a job, leave home, marry, and have children. Since then, every generation has been held to those same markers. Yet so much has changed about the world and living in it since that sequence was formulated. All of those markers are choices, and they’re all valid, but any one person’s choices along those lines do not make them more or less an adult.

Story
Even women who feel fulfilled often struggle to meet the demands of modern life. Both working and stay-at-home moms agree that the expectations of women have risen dramatically in recent decades. As a result, many women overcompensate and over-apologize while the guilt dampens the joy of motherhood, relationships, and professional accomplishments. Let Go of the Guilt helps you peel back the layers of emotional, cultural, and spiritual expectations that make it difficult to navigate your multiple roles, dreams, and daily demands on your life.

Thanks Judi
I generally hate to lie. It makes me feel bad, I want to be comfortable with the truth (good or bad), and lying often seems to come out as a lie later. I recently came across another article by Judi, unrelated to lies, which immediately made me like her. She shared a personal story of how her routine went against society norms and how she examined this and came to peace with it. Most of us seem to be programmed robots, and I think we all need to examine our beliefs, feelings, and reactions more. This is what the author does, and I love it. When I saw she had a book examining lying, I was immediately interested. I’m currently going through my own issues with this. I grew up in a family that did not share the personal tough stuff, and as a quiet guarded person, I continue that tradition. This is omission. I want to become open and transparent. I had a married friend of mine (one of my few friends) recently tell me, “you are my only friend here now”. I was shocked that he would share this with me. I want to learn from him. My girlfriend of 20 years is brutally honest to me. (She also though seems comfortable to lie in other areas of life). She will regularly point out my biggest flaws and remind me of my deepest insecurities. I thought, doesn’t this person have any compassion or sense of what she is doing? I now think the problem lies more in me. I still love her deeply (not much in a romantic way), but I have been thinking about moving on. I’ve been having an emotional affair with another woman, whom I’ve never met in person, for about six months now. I have a lot to figure out, and I will need to have some difficult honest talks soon, including with family and friends. From a very early age, I pretty much never believed in black or white. What I love about this author and this book is the thorough personal examination of this topic. She comes at the subject from all sides of life, always with personal stories to share. Scientific studies and views from other authors are also included. The book was quite long, and while Judi might have elaborated in places more than I needed, the book was interesting and informative throughout. People lie all the time for a wide variety of reasons, and I think it generally has a real negative outcome for our society and for us personally. I think we all need to be more aware about our actions and our reasons for doing things and feeling things. This is just another great book to help with that journey of personal discovery.

Want to be a better human? Read this!
I've always thought that there were two types of people in the world: honest people and liars. But there are many shades of gray when it comes to being truthful. I appreciate that the author was transparent about her own honesty journey and what she learned about herself. "Would I Lie to You" covers the vast array of social interactions - family dynamics, romantic relationships, career, friendships, and being honest with yourself. The author explains why we sometimes lie and why we sometimes should. "Would I Lie to You" opened my eyes to the fact that I'm not quite as honest as I'd like to believe, and I have room to come up higher.

......and queue the political comments
publishers keep encouraging people to just write whatever these days.
I got this one free thank God. pretty harmless yet pointless until she goes political. comments that already have not aged well about Trump. I am not at all political but after reading her diatribe about Trump being dishonest, all proven wrong, it seems. But the current president's dishonesty is unprecedented.
credibility lost. stopped reading . still cringing.
