You may believe you're an independent thinker, but odds are you are influenced by others' actions or beliefs.

In most cases, the influence is inconsequential, but it's important to know how their beliefs and actions impact you to fully understand why you do what you do.

Plus, we'll talk about lying and why we all lie a lot. You'll also learn why lying is a two-way proposition. For a lie to work, you have to be a willing participant.
