Show Notes
When was the last lie you told? (Be honest!) Why did you tell it? Can you tell when someone is lying to you – your partner, your boss, your child? Is anyone born a liar? When is lying ok, and when can it destroy you? In this episode of How Do We Manage, Stephanie tackles all these questions and more with Swedish behavioral expert, worldwide best-selling author and speaker Thomas Erikson. In his “Surrounded By...” series, which has sold more than 12 million copies, Thomas unpicks all sorts of fascinating personality types – from idiots to psychopaths, narcissists to bad bosses – and most recently liars. In a world where it’s increasingly difficult to tell fact from fiction, a lie from truth, this episode is a must-listen!
