Dan Ariely

Ariely’s research indicates that dishonesty is an inescapable part of human nature. But as he showed in two previous studies, The Upside of Irrationality and PREDICTABLY IRRATIONAL, such behavior has its reasons. His fascinating look at what motivates lying and cheating also illuminates what compels us to be truthful.
