Dan Ariely has a new book out called The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty. I loved his book from 2010, Predictably Irrational.
From Ariely (via Brain Pickings):

Creativity can help us tell better stories — stories that allow us to be even more dishonest but still think of ourselves as wonderfully honest people.

Reminds me of how documentary filmmaker Ken Burns believes all storytelling is manipulation and lies.
