Your Brain Changes Every Time You Lie

Why should you tell the truth? While the moral argument is centuries old, this video explores the physical, mental, and spiritual effects of lying. Most lies seem to vanish quickly after you tell them. Nobody discovers them, nothing changes, and life continues as usual. However, research on deception indicates that the story doesn’t end there. Scientists have measured when we choose a lie over the truth, the mental burden of keeping that lie alive, and what happens when we do it again and again. Some results are disturbing, raising a question that a brain scanner can’t entirely resolve: How does a lifetime of small lies affect the person who tells them? 📖 Sources: https://ept.ms/YourBrainOnLying Chapters: 01:34 Truth Is Innate 04:07 Six jobs versus one 06:22 Two lies, two different bills 11:51 Most people told zero lies yesterday #brain #mentalhealth #spiritual #wellbeing
