Keyes analyzes a
significant trend – the triumph of prevarication – and shines a light on
the path back to personal integrity. The Post-Truth Era is
brilliant social criticism, and sobering reading.
Landon Y. Jones, former
editor of People magazine, author of William Clark and the
Shaping of the West
If you’ve ever wondered why so many people aren’t telling
the truth, you must read The Post-Truth Era! I was transfixed by
what Ralph Keyes discovered. This eye-opening book ranges from politics
to religion, résumé fraud to fraudulent courtship, compulsive lying to
petty fibbery, alerting us to one of the most dangerous phenomena of
our time: the decline of honesty. The Post-Truth Era is a
remarkable and extremely important book.
Richard Farson, President, Western Behavioral Sciences Institute, author of
Management of the Absurd
 Ralph Keyes's books always enlighten us about aspects of our
contemporary culture. His latest book unravels the webs of deception in
our national life and personal lives, and helps us understand why we lie
so often - and are so often lied to. The Post-Truth Era is
engaging and enlightening.

Publisher, Privacy Journal; author of Ben Franklin's Web Site
I read The Post-Truth Era for pure pleasure on
this long-overlooked trait. A superb development of the subject,
the nips and tucks we take on facts of life, especially in the
self-presentation of our image.
T George Harris, former
editor of Psychology Today; columnist, Beliefnet
I love The Post-Truth Era. I've quoted it
in conversations ranging from child rearing to complexity theory.
It's one of the most provocative books I've read in recent years.
Mary Boone, author of
Leadership and the Computer
The Post-Truth Era is an important public service. I hope it
gets in the hands of leading columnists and public observers because it
deserves to be part of the national dialogue.
Laurence Leamer, author of Sons of Camelot
I
read
The Post-Truth Era in one sitting. It is really terrific.
