In the book

Trust, once you understand it this way, is also why the wise rarely lie — not merely because lying is wrong, but because they have learned that a lie almost always ends in more complications, damaged relationships, and worse outcomes than the truth would have cost. And the work starts inside: a mature understanding of your own capabilities and motives turns out to be tightly linked to good relationships, because you cannot read others clearly until you can read yourself. Let me get practical, starting with friends — because the people you surround yourself with shape your life more than almost any other single choice. — Friends, Community & Society (Relationships/Community/Society)
