Honesty: Not the Best Policy is a short (about 50 pages) self-help book that argues lying is sometimes kind and necessary. You can read more about this book in the Benicia Herald article with the same title. I've also included a description below:
Honesty: Not the Best Policy argues that we should lie more boldly and more often, especially to those we love the most. We as a society are too committed to the truth. We cling to honesty so much that we hurt the people around us, and when we see the pain we’ve caused, we respond stupidly, “What? I was just being honest.” We call our honesty moral and just when in reality it is often cutting and self-serving. This book argues that lying is often far more selfless and moral than honesty.
