Truth : 13 reasons to question everything you are told
MacDonald, Hector2019
Books
True or false? It's rarely that simple. There is more than one truth about most things. Eating meat is nutritious but it's also damaging to the environment. The Internet disseminates knowledge but it also spreads hatred. As communicators, we select the truths that are most useful to our agenda. We can select truths constructively to inspire organisations, encourage children, and drive progressive change. Or we can select truths that give a false impression of reality, misleading people without actually lying. Others can do the same, motivating or deceiving us with the truth. Truths are neutral but can also be highly versatile tools that we can use for good or ill. Here, Hector Macdonald explores how truth is used and abused in politics, business, the media and everyday life.
