À propos de cet audio
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. He focuses on "white" lies - those lies we tell for the purpose of sparing people discomfort - for these are the lies that most often tempt us. And they tend to be the only lies that good people tell while imagining that they are being good in the process.

A belief in free will touches nearly everything that human beings value. It is difficult to think about law, politics, religion, public policy, intimate relationships, morality—as well as feelings of remorse or personal achievement—without first imagining that every person is the true source of his or her thoughts and actions. And yet the facts tell us that free will is an illusion.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 55
"Forty-four percent of the American population is convinced that Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead sometime in the next 50 years," writes Sam Harris. "Imagine the consequences if any significant component of the U.S. government actually believed that the world was about to end and that its ending would be glorious. The fact that nearly half of the American population apparently believes this...should be considered a moral and intellectual emergency."

'Reason and imagination and all mental chatter died down... I forgot my name, my humanness, my thingness, all that could be called me or mine. Past and future dropped away... Lighter than air, clearer than glass, altogether released from myself, I was nowhere around.' Thus Douglas Harding describes his first experience of headlessness, or no self. First published in 1961, this is a classic work which conveys the experience that mystics of all times have tried to put words to.

If everyone is looking to secure a relationship with their perceived best option, then the perception of value must be at the heart of human coupling. In this groundbreaking work, psychologist Orion Taraban sets forth his economic model of relationships and exposes the often uncomfortable laws that govern the sexual marketplace. After listening to "The Value of Others," you'll never look at relationships the same way again.

Great book, but WAY too short.
I really like Sam as a person and an author. He has excellent points, has really interesting things to say... but this book is way too thin. It leaves you on your appetite.

Worth listening to over and over…
I cannot tell you how many times I have listened to this audio book. Without a lie (😉) it has been at least 6-8 times PLUS I own a hard copy of the book. Why? Funny you should ask. This book and it’s ideas has changed my life and, through me, the lives of others. Moreover, I began practicing 100% truth with compassion. The results have been profound.
I use to deliver MY truth as (a) all or nothing - an unfiltered, gut-punching truth with a side serving of “hey, you asked,” (b) mostly silence (truth withheld - #youcanthandlethetruth), or (c) white lie. Practicing compassionate truth has been a life changer. For example: 1) Relationships are far more authentic and run deeper, (2) by demonstrating compassionate truth, it has freed others around me to do the same, and (3) I am a better, kinder, more forgiving, and far more loving person. It sounds strange, but I actually like myself more.

The best long run strategy isn't lying.
Sam argues, in a very coherent manner, that lying when it's expected that honest communication between parties takes place results in distrust in the long run. Relationships can be weakened even over the most trivial lies because often those little white lies come to surface showing your ability to lie to the other party.
After this book, I had to reflect on points in my life where I discovered someone had lied to me or even spread false information that they deemed true. Those relationships definitely aren't as strong as they were before hand, and I believe Sam properly frames why this is.

A strong argument for deontological ethics
This book makes an exceptional case for deontological ethics and argues against consequentialist and moral relativistic approach to common issues, specifically with lies of "comission" (as opposed to omission). Lying is well written and tackles many scenarios that we've all undoubtedly had to face at some point. There is good balance between truth telling and how to tell the truth, with the former being constant and the latter being an acquired skill.

This was a very good listen, and even though I already try to tell the truth, I'm going to try even harder now.

A Fascintating (if short) Treatise
I got this book as a Daily Deal. I am glad I took a chance, but don't think it's worth a credit - all in all.
Anyone who's heard a Sam Harris podcast knows the guy is a thinker. He brings his keen observation and persuasive arguments to a discussion of the ethics/utility of lies. His topic is liberally sprinkled with illustrative anecdotes. Harris comes off as cerebral without being a know-it-all. In fact, the second half of the recording is Sam tackling reader questions, and he actually, to his undying credit, changes his stance on a couple of postulates.
Audio quality is fair at best. Harris is a good reader, but a bit monotone in the delivery of fairly dry writing.
This recording is worth 7 out of 10 stars.

Excellent and Challenging
A debunking of the myth that white lies "protect" those you care about and an argument that lying or "sparing the truth" causes more harm than good

An Important Book
Many people who are and have always been religious find the idea of a treatise against lying silly. They have always thought of lying as a sin, and (contrary to popular atheist thought), many of them actually do just stop there. They don't consciously lie, except for the "little white lie".
This book makes the case that even the "little white lie", perhaps especially the "little white law", is highly problematic. An important secular value treated as ambiguous in a post modern world.
