THE HONESTY EXPERIMENT

This is an invitation.

My daughter Kira is running an Honesty Experiment http://honestyexperiment.com in which volunteers agree to be 100% honest for one month. Sound easy?  Sound like fun?  Perhaps.  But there is a serious side to the Experiment, as well.

Studies show that the average person is lied to about 200 times each day...and most of those lies are being told by other average people...like you and me.  Many of the people who lie to us are not strangers, but family and good friends, people we trust.  And sometimes we lie to ourselves.  Technology has skyrocketed the frequency and scope of human communication and interaction.  But much of that, unfortunately, is apparently rooted in falsehoods and unreality.  There is much for us to gain if we commit ourselves to living the truth.

The Honesty Experiment is an important one and I hope that one day in the near future my daughter will write the definitive work on this subject.  You can help Kira by volunteering...and perhaps yourself, as well.  She is looking for volunteers of all ages and backgrounds...and is running a special Honesty Experiment for Couples in August.

You can reach Kira at honestyexp@gmail.com.
