How to Stop Lying: The Ultimate Cure Guide for Pathological Liars and Compulsive Liars (Pathological Lying Disorder, Compulsive Lying Disorder, ASPD, ... Disorder, Psychopathy, Sociopathy)

Very good book. I wouldn't lie about that.

I ordered this book for my lying fiancé. He needs to shape up or ship out. This book is perfect. He needs to read the entire book.

My sister is a pathological liar and has been for as long as I can remember. My family basically turned a blind eye to it and now I have found the information all of us need in order to help her. It really does affect everyone around them and at times I wanted to scream at her to just stop. This book definitely opened my eyes and made me understand why she does it. The book explains all the reasons people lie and I had no idea there are so many different treatments for this condition, and to me it is an illness. I now am armed with ways to address the issue. The book is clear and made total sense and has such a positive feeling, and gave me hope. Thank you to the author Caesar Lincoln for putting this all together and the time you put into it. I certainly recommend it to anyone who knows someone who lies.

Not well written.

This book laid out helpful analysis on what a pathological/compulsive is and how the behavior may have come to be. It also gives life-altering practical tools to help someone who struggles in that area overcome at a pace and with hope.

I sent this to my ex who lied for no reason

I got this book to help my boyfriend exhibits behavior of a compulsive liar. It has no more information that what I managed to google. I understand this isn't yet a classified disorder but I would really like a book from a therapists point of view. This self proclaimed self help book spouts platitudes that are common sense. "You have to want to change" Well no way! Additionally, the book is rife with typographical errors such as three spaces between words and then one. Paragraphs are spaced entire paragraphs apart to make the book seem larger. I should have heeded the negative reviews but there are not many books on this subject so I decided to chance it. If you're buying this book to learn I suggest looking elsewhere and don't waste your money. If you're seeking help your best bet is a good psychotherapist. We don't have insurance so this was not a possibility. Best of luck!

This novel (more like a short story) is the "cliff notes" to compulsive lying. It's a quick hour read and it gives you "cliff note" type answers/insight to the array of problems lying causes. I think it's an excellent start, but by no means the end of your research. At $2.99 and for an hour of your personal time, I think it's worth it. I would recommend this to my friends, only if their exceptions (stated above) were well established prior to purchase. hope this helps.

`How To Stop Lying" is a rather intriguing read. It was the subtitle that said "The ultimate cure for pathological liars and compulsive liars" that really reeled me in from the beginning, as I'm currently taking a course in pastoral care and counseling. This counseling course has thus sparked my interest in all sorts of issues that people come up against and the different ways to go around solving them, so although I myself don't (or at least I don't think I do) have a problem with lying, I wanted to read this book for interest's sake. So read it I did! The book in itself is short and snappy - perfect for reading in one go on a train journey or a lunch break but it manages to get the balance right between detail and being concise, which was fab. The chapters span a lot of good things including definitions of what pathological lying is, symptoms and ways to help it. My personal favourite was the chapter all about why we lie, and it outlined the 5 main situations in which people do so - it was quite interesting when I realised that I could identify with each point to a more or lesser extent. I think it has also meant that when people lie in the future instead of getting upset or angry that I can try to see where they're coming from and be a little bit more understanding. Again, from the `student studying counseling' perspective I found it really cool to see different techniques discussed that would help someone overcome a lying problem. Overall, I thought this book was fantastic and simple to read and I think it would be great not only for people who have trouble with lying but for people who know someone who has an issue with it or just for plain old interest. In fact, I would say it probably appeals and works better for the latter two! My only dissatisfaction with the book was the lack of author on the cover page - but I guess that's just me nitpicking eh?

I like it

Muito util. Recomendo para pessoas que necessitam um norte para sair da espiral destrutiva que só quem passa por isto sabe como é difícil.

Very interesting to learn the reasons why behind we lie and what we can do to prevent it
