Reseña del libro "Why Honest People Are Not Always Truthful. On the Distance Between What We Believe About Ourselves and What We Are Actually Doing (en Inglés)"

You do not lie.

You have not lied, not deliberately, not in any way you would be comfortable calling a lie, in longer than you can clearly remember. You are, by any reasonable account, an honest person.

So why are the people closest to you not always sure what you actually think?

Why Honest People Are Not Always Truthful draws the distinction that changes everything: honesty is the absence of lying. Truthfulness is the active offering of what is actually true. They overlap. They are not the same. And the gap between them is where most of the interesting and most of the costly behaviour in ordinary human relationships lives.

Drawing on moral philosophy, psychology, and the specific patterns of daily communication that most people have stopped noticing, Marcus Lowe maps seven varieties of honest dishonesty: the selective disclosure, the strategic timing, the impression management, the lie of omission, the technically true statement, the performed emotion, and the comfortable silence.

None of these require lying. All of them produce, in the minds of the people who receive them, something that is not quite the truth.

Inside you will find:The philosophical distinction between honesty and truthfulness - and why confusing them costs more than most people have countedSeven varieties of honest dishonesty, with case studies from ordinary lifeThe motivated cognition that protects the honest self-image from examinationA practical path toward the truthful life, not as an event but as a daily disciplineThe honest person who finishes this book will know something they did not know before. They will know the difference between not lying and telling the truth. And they will not be able to unknow it.
