Are You as Good as You Think You Are? | Christian Miller
March 10, 2018
The Veritas Forum
The data says we’re lying to each other about a third of the time. Philosopher Christian Miller thinks that number is actually higher. After years of researching hundreds of psychological studies that put people’s character to the test, Christian concluded that a gap exists between how good we should be and how good we actually are. On our latest podcast episode, we sit down with Christian to discuss his latest book, The Character Gap, and what we can do to become better people.
