The Varnished Truth - Truth Telling and Deceiving in Ordinary Life by David Nyberg (1993-06-01)

The Varnished Truth: Truth Telling and Deceiving in Ordinary Life
( Everyone says that lying is wrong. But when we say that...)
Everyone says that lying is wrong. But when we say that lying is bad and hurtful and that we would never intentionally tell a lie, are we really deceiving anyone? In this wise and insightful book, David Nyberg exposes the tacit truth underneath our collective pretense and reveals that an occasional lie can be helpful, healthy, creative, and, in some situations, even downright moral. The Varnished Truth takes us beyond philosophical speculation and clinical analysis to give us a sense of what it really means to tell the truth. As Nyberg lays out the complexities involved in leading a morally decent life, he compels us to see the spectrum of alternatives to telling the truth and telling a clear-cut lie.

The author presents to the reader things he has learned about teaching that were not part of his training. He states in the Preface his goal is to marry the words "human" and "humane" especially in regards to the way big people treat little people. The book is divided into 5 parts which are: part one. minding your feelings part two. feeling your mindings part three. unblinding in small groups part four. repecting persons in theory part five. respecting persons in real life.
