Like Ariely's other book, this one offers a wide range of studies conducted in various places and various settings looking at how people react to the situations put before them. Although the situations are carefully controlled, the book does not go into explicit detail very often but highlights the variables and results (only a few times did I wish for more details...).

It is written in an entertaining and approachable style and offers a lot of insight about when people choose to cheat and what factors may also dissuade them. A wide range of topics are covered from the classroom, to the tax form, to business, to charity opportunities.

Frankly, I almost hate to swap the book except I'm sure others would really enjoy it.
