Summary of Dr. David Craig's Lie Detecting 101

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 There are two types of lies: self-focused and other-focused. Self-focused lies are told to help the person telling the lie, whereas other-focused lies are told to help another person. While self-focused lies are rarely harmful, other-focused lies can be very dangerous.

#2 Other-Focused Lies are lies that are told with good intentions to benefit or protect another person. They are usually told with good intentions, and if the truth is discovered it is not overly hurtful to the person to whom the lie was told.

#3 Other-Focused Lies are those that are practiced for the benefit of, or to protect, another person. They are usually superficial or simply aligned with social etiquette, and it is difficult to criticize someone for telling them.

#4 The least harmful motivation for someone to tell a Self-Focused Lie is to avoid the shame of not having had any company. This is the least harmful type of lie, and it is often misunderstood.
