Elizabeth Holmes: The psychology of a liar (part one)

What this episode covers

Most of us have heard that Elizabeth Holmes is a pathological liar. How she coned investors out of billions. But few of us know why she did it, why her employees endorsed her and why so many of us believe her. In this episode of Nudge, I study the psychology behind dishonesty and attempt to reveal the psychology of a liar.
