THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
AN ECONOMIST BOOK OF THE YEAR
A NEW STATESMAN BOOK OF THE YEAR

'This book is about a whole new way of studying the mind… Endlessly fascinating' Steven Pinker

'A whirlwind tour of the modern human psyche' Economist

Everybody lies, to friends, lovers, doctors, pollsters — and to themselves. In Internet searches, however, people confess the truth.
Insightful, funny and always surprising, Everybody Lies explores how this huge collection of data, unprecedented in human history, could just be the most important ever collected. It offers astonishing insights into the human psyche, revealing the biases deeply embedded within us, the questions we're afraid to ask that might be essential to our well-being, and the information we can use to change our culture for the better.

        Quotes

        • Ekaterina Staroverovahas quoted6 years ago
          Sometimes a new dataset reveals a behavior, desire, or concern that I would have never even considered. There are numerous sexual proclivities that fall into this category. For example, did you know that in India the number one search beginning “my husband wants . . .” is “my husband wants me to breastfeed him”? This comment is far more common in India than in other countries. Moreover, porn searches for depictions of women breastfeeding men are four times higher in India and Bangladesh than in any other country in the world. I certainly never would have suspected that before I saw the data.
