Amoral Lying Woman Profile

The author is amoral and defends amoral women who don't care about lying even to women. The book provides useful information to criminally profile these types of women. How can we tell that women are lying and why would women lie? This book is a good mechanism for understanding the tactics of the amoral lying woman. Know your enemy to defeat your enemy. Arm yourself with truth.

Fascinating...because it's all too true.

Little White Lies, Deep Dark Secrets is a nonjudgmental research project about a topic that's all too familiar to all of us. Barash's interviewees vary in ages and social classes, and may live miles from one another, but each has found a reason to lie to a family member, friend or work colleague. I found this fascinating because it's all too true and because women do it to save face and to make their lives better. Men should read the book to get the low down and women to recognize themselves and not feel alone.

Excellent book- clever insights and observations, a book all women will identify with

I picked up this book after I saw Ms. Barash on the Today show. I found it insightful and through provoking. It was comforting to know that other women felt societies pressure to be "perfect", and lying is a way that most women achieve that. It's a must read for all women!! It illuminates how we act/survive in this over-sexed and ageist culture.
