A Year Without Lying

Who does it cost you first?

A Year Without Lying

For the next twelve months you can't say anything you believe to be false. Not the big lies, those you'd manage. The 'no, it's lovely'. The 'I'm on my way'. The 'I'm fine'. Silence is allowed, but no cover stories, and nobody knows this has happened to you.

Who does it cost you first?

Then ask

  • Name the person you'd have to start avoiding.
  • Which lie do you tell most days? Say it word for word.
  • Would anyone close to you leave by the end of the year?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
