Lie or Lose: The Subtle Art of Twisting the Truth to Live More Successfully

Does Honesty Always Pay Off? Why lie about your salary? Why pretend to smoke when you don't? How can complimenting your greatest enemy work in your favor? Why should you purposely make mistakes around competitive coworkers? And when is it wise to gamble with outlandish offers and excuses? This bestseller features 18 daring stories that show how sometimes, a little twist of truth goes a long way. In the chapters that follow, I recount lessons from my private and professional life, showcasing the perks of fine-tuning your truth. I genuinely believe that if you ignore this art, you might not just stall your progress, but actually come short. Plainly spoken, you lose if you can’t lie. Lose friendships. Lose out on progress in your job. Lose the favor of your boss. Lose financially. Lose arguments. In extreme cases, a failure to make up a small lie could even lead to losing your life.
