Show Notes

Is telling a white lie always the kind thing to do?

In this episode, we explore pro-social lying — the kind of deception people use to preserve harmony, protect feelings, and avoid conflict.

But is it always harmless? Or are we often just protecting ourselves from discomfort?

Topics include:

The psychology of white lies and emotional soothing

The empathy-accuracy paradox

How lies distort behavioural baselines

When kindness crosses into manipulation

The role of awareness and intention in everyday conversation

This is a candid, thought-provoking episode on communication, behavioural intelligence, and what it really means to be kind.
