BRAIN & LIES

~ DAILY DOSE OF LYING ~o Most people lie once or twice a day, almost as often as

they snack from the refrigerator or brush their teeth. o Both men & women lie equally. o A fifth of social exchanges lasting 10 or more minutes involve

at least 1 lie. o Over a week, people deceive about 30% of those with whom

they interact one-on-one.

~ WHAT HAPPENS IN YOUR BRAIN? ~

o The mechanism in your brain is the same regardless of whether you tell a big lie or a little lie.
