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.

"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."

In the popular imagination, superhuman artificial intelligence is an approaching tidal wave that threatens not just jobs and human relationships, but civilization itself. Conflict between humans and machines is seen as inevitable and its outcome all too predictable. In this groundbreaking audiobook, distinguished AI researcher Stuart Russell argues that this scenario can be avoided, but only if we rethink AI from the ground up. Russell begins by exploring the idea of intelligence in humans and in machines.

Already internationally acclaimed for his elegant, lucid writing on the most challenging notions in modern physics, Sean Carroll is emerging as one of the greatest humanist thinkers of his generation as he brings his extraordinary intellect to bear not only on the Higgs boson and extra dimensions but now also on our deepest personal questions. Where are we? Who are we? Are our emotions, our beliefs, and our hopes and dreams ultimately meaningless out there in the void?

Superintelligence asks the questions: What happens when machines surpass humans in general intelligence? Will artificial agents save or destroy us? Nick Bostrom lays the foundation for understanding the future of humanity and intelligent life. The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. If machine brains surpassed human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become extremely powerful - possibly beyond our control.

Who better to speak to that person who finds him or herself in a contrarian position than Hitchens, who has made a career of disagreeing in profound and entertaining ways.

In this short book, Sam Harris and Maajid Nawaz invite you to join an urgently needed conversation: Is Islam a religion of peace or war? Is it amenable to reform? Why do so many Muslims seem drawn to extremism? What do words like Islamism, jihadism, and fundamentalism mean in today's world? Remarkable for the breadth and depth of its analysis, this dialogue between a famous atheist and a former radical is all the more startling for its decorum. Harris and Nawaz have produced something genuinely new: they engage one of the most polarizing issues of our time - fearlessly and fully - and actually make progress.

Merchants of Doubt has been praised—and attacked—around the world, for reasons easy to understand. This book tells, with “brutal clarity” (Huffington Post), the disquieting story of how a loose-knit group of high-level scientists and scientific advisers, with deep connections in politics and industry, ran effective campaigns to mislead the public and deny well-established scientific knowledge over four decades.

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.

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.
