About the book
Dan Ariely investigates the psychological mechanisms behind dishonesty, revealing that most people cheat not just for material gain, but for subtler reasons involving self-esteem and social norms. Through innovative experiments and engaging stories, he challenges the assumption that only criminals cheat.
The book offers insights into why and how ordinarily honest people commit small frauds, and how systems and incentives can be redesigned to promote integrity.
