Excellent book- clever insights and observations, a book all women will identify with

I picked up this book after I saw Ms. Barash on the Today show. I found it insightful and through provoking. It was comforting to know that other women felt societies pressure to be "perfect", and lying is a way that most women achieve that. It's a must read for all women!! It illuminates how we act/survive in this over-sexed and ageist culture.

Fascinating...because it's all too true.

Little White Lies, Deep Dark Secrets is a nonjudgmental research project
about a topic that's all too familiar to all of us. Barash's interviewees
vary in ages and social classes, and may live miles from one another,
but each has found a reason to lie to a family member, friend or work colleague. I found this fascinating because it's all too true and because women do it to save face and to make their lives better. Men should read the book to get the low down and women to recognize themselves and not feel alone.

The editor's review reads like the table of contents..........

I had heard about this book being featured on the Today Show, so I decided to see how it was reviewed. The review, unfortunately, reads like a cliff note book report. It did nothing, sadly, to peak my interest.

From the bestselling author of Tripping the Prom Queen comes a fascinating and provocative look at the reasons behind female deception. Little White Lies, Deep Dark Secrets reveals how society doles out mixed messages to women, fostering the lies they tell. Among the liars are:

?A woman who shoplifts, and has it ?down to a science?

?A woman who tells her husband she is working late in order to be with her lover

?A woman who lies about her children?s achievements to her friends

?A woman who pretends her husband is doing well when they are going broke

?A woman who has covered up her husband?s emotional abuse for years

?A woman whose secret is her misery in being a stay-at-home mom in suburbia

?A woman who lies about loving her partner, deciding it?s better to stay than be alone

?And many other secrets and deceptions

Honest and even outrageous, Susan Shapiro Barash is fast becoming the author who explores issues that are important to women?issues that they are loath to talk about . . . until now.
