Annotation

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 Lying is everywhere, and it is often done by children. They will lie to save themselves while guided by the belief that eating candy before dinner is bad.#2 We questioned the man, asking where he got his statistic from. He insisted he had seen the figure displayed on the news the previous night. We took out our phones and searched the latest statistics, which revealed a figure around 4. 7 percent.#3 The information you use to make your day-to-day decisions must be correct and as accurate as possible. When you think of living your life in this way, the information you're using must be correct.#4 The act of growing up is about testing boundaries and figuring out what works and what doesn't. We already know that children start to tell lies at a young age, and that we can't get through a simple conversation without lying once.
