My returning guest, life coach Lauren Zander, is a self-described truth teller, who according to her website ‘upholds a take-no-prisoners brand of radical personal accountability’. So is it any surprise she’s on a personal crusade to inform the world about the seven ways people lie?

Seven may be a lucky number, but not in this case…as Lauren boldly believes nobody should EVER lie, not even those ‘little white lies’ most of us see as socially acceptable, if not socially necessary. She observes that most of us KNOW when we’re being lied to, even if we only sense it without being able to put of finger on exactly how.

Lauren also wouldn’t fall for the old PUA question of, ‘Who lies more, men or women?’ as she firmly believes ALL of us lie, whoever we are. Therefore, her list is not gender specific.

So first off, why ARE social lies allegedly designed to keep conversation light and friendly really a bad thing? Next comes my theory on how there are two kinds of people when is comes to the issue of social truth…and Lauren surprises me with her opinion in response.

We then expose how people with a lot of money lie, as well as people who are going through a rough patch. Then, there are the infamous errors of omission vs. commision.

What about what Malcolm Gladwell refers to as the human being’s ‘default toward truth’? How does that enter into it?

Why are brown-nosers such liars? And on the same note, here’s objective proof why women roll their eyes at ‘Mr. Nice Guy’.

What does the infamous ‘Imposter Syndrome’ have to do with all of this? And finally, what’s the practical application to all this? Should we simply NEVER lie to ANYONE, EVER?
