"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 [this book] ... Harris argues that we can radically simplify our lives and improve society by merely telling the truth in situations where others often lie"--Dust jacket flap.

Sam Harris (born 1967) is an American non-fiction writer, neuroscientist and proponent of scientific skepticism. He is the author of *The End of Faith* (2004), which won the 2005 PEN/Martha Albrand Award, and *Letter to a Christian Nation* (2006), a rejoinder to the criticism his first book attracted.
