Kathleen Wyatt on why lying is good for you

Kathleen Wyatt is a speechwriter, journalist and editor. She spent sixteen years as a columnist and reviewer at The Times and speaks six languages! Her book, The Social Superpower: The Big Truth About Little Lies, includes interviews with spies, psychologists and a former al-Qaeda bombmaker in the hope of uncovering why it is that we lie, often innately. In this episode, we discuss why Kathleen felt compelled to write a book about lies, her professional opinion on Boris Johnson’s lying to Parliament and which person she would like to perform a lie detector test on.   Get your copy of The Social Superpower here: https://www.bitebackpublishing.com/books/the-social-superpower   Music Funkorama by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3788-funkorama Licence: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
