    Does the chance of getting caught affect how likely we are to cheat? How do companies pave the way for dishonesty? Does collaboration make us more honest or less so? Does religion improve our honesty? Most of us think of ourselves as honest, but, in fact, we all cheat. From Washington to Wall Street, the classroom to the workplace, unethical behavior is everywhere. None of us is immune whether it's the white lie to head off trouble or padding our expense reports.

    Story
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    I would recommend this to anyone who gets stuck in anecdotal evidence or believes that their motivations are the general norm (i.e I don't dod that!, therefore it can't be true.).


    What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

    The questions posed are of significant importance to a flat world and the evolutionary process.


    What three words best describe Simon Jones’s voice?

    British, smug, matter of fact (Did I just describe British?)


    What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

    The idea that we can fool ourselves so completely that it appears to others that we are lying or cheating, but to ourselves it is business as usual.


    Any additional comments?

    The listener should keep in mind that the experiments although having attempted to compensate for many variables are still happening in a laboratory and can not completing emulate one's behavior in real life situations were the BIG questions are asked.
