Well, I don't do deception was a common resonse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe all do deception, often with the intention to protect ourselves and the relationships we depend on. \u003cem\u003eThe Dance of Deception\u003c\/em\u003eunravels the ways (and whys) that women show the false and hide the real -- even to our own selves. We see how relationships are affected by lying and faking, by silence and pretending and by brave -- but misguided -- efforts to tell the truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTruth-telling is at the heart of what is most central in women's lives. It is at the foundation of authenticity and creativity, intimacy and joy. Yet in the name of honesty, we can bludgeon each other. We can approach a difficult issue with such a poor sense of timing and tact that we can actually shut down the lines of communication rather than widening the path of truth-telling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSometimes Lerner's advice takes a surprising turn -- for example, when she asks us to engage in a bold act of pretending in order to discover something more real; or when she tells us not to parachute down on our family to bring up a hot issue without laying the necessary groundwork first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether the subject is affairs, family secrets, sexual faking or the challenge of being oneself, Lerner helps us to discover, speak and live our own truths.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Morrow \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33004883738724,"sku":"9780060924638","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/dance-of-deception-a-guide-to-authenticity-and-truth-telling-in-womens-relationships-the","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
