<b>How our desire to stamp out hypocrisy is backfiring—and how learning to target our criticisms better can improve our politics, business, and personal relationships.<br><br><i>Finalist, 2025 Foreword INDIES Awards, Self-Help (Adult Nonfiction) Category</i><br><i> Shortlisted, Global Association of Applied Behavioural Scientists Book Award</i><br><i>Longlisted, Non-Obvious Book Awards 2025</i></b><br><br>In our increasingly distrusting and polarized nations, accusations of hypocrisy are everywhere. But the strange truth is that our attempts to stamp out hypocrisy often backfire, creating what Michael Hallsworth calls <i>The Hypocrisy Trap</i>. In this groundbreaking book, he shows how our relentless drive to expose inconsistency between words and deeds can actually breed more hypocrisy or, worse, cynicism that corrodes democracy itself.<br><br>Through engaging stories and original research, Hallsworth shows that not all hypocrisy is equal. While some forms genuinely destroy trust and create harm, others reflect the inevitable compromises of human nature and complex societies. <i>The Hypocrisy Trap</i> offers practical solutions: ways to increase our own consistency, navigate accusations wisely, and change how we judge others’ actions. Hallsworth shows vividly that we can improve our politics, businesses, and personal relationships if we rethink hypocrisy—soon.
