I've read this book in a day while being sleep deprived for travel reasons so I might not have been in the best conditions to evaluate this book. However, the language used is very clear and the author skilfully explores the different truth bending devices used by master « misleaders » (his word, not mine) but which can also serve a better purpose. Through concrete examples he casts light on the fact that often a situation can have competing truths depending on context/beliefs/data/predictions etc.

Some chapters are a bit long and unrelated to the topic at hand. If you've enjoyed books by Dan Ariely or other behavioural scientists then you will enjoy this one.
