To Lie is HumanFew can use language to undo the hallucinations created by language, to use words to transcend words. Hyatt is one. — Robert Anton WilsonThe lies you’ve been told—and the lies you tell yourself—keep you neatly and blindly confined in a prison that society doesn’t want you even to see. In his inimitable style, Dr. Hyatt takes you on a walking tour of your cell, and then gives you the tools to tunnel out!To Lie is Human was first published back in 1992 (entitled The Tree of Lies), but twelve years later it was published again, this time with its present title. Hyatt has written a great number of books, many with the intention that their readers shall “develop” themselves, that is, become the best human he can be. Hyatt offers both advices and lessons, and what separates Hyatt from most others is his somewhat harsh cynicism that not everybody are able to tolerate, and his ways of again and again attack ideas and values that most people probably have taken for granted all their lives.
