enough snake oil !

I found the article linked to at the bottom of this post (after reading some random article on www.fark.com today and seeing the headline) and I think it’s perfect for this blog!

It also happens to be an intensely interesting article in its own right and if you have kids or you work with kids, you definitely should read it. As one of the commenters points out, it makes you think about your own teenage years.

The thing that was the most interesting to me is the point about lying to avoid conflict and how children learn this at such an extraordinarily early age.

It’s a great read. Estimated reading time: 10-15 minutes. The sort of thing to share with your partner (or colleagues) and then discuss over a coffee.

The article: Learning to Lie

Let me know what you think and if you see any connection to the general topic of discussion for this blog.

Enjoy,
