Our lives are full of accusations of hypocrisy — against politicians, companies, and each other. Yet despite this noise, little seems to change. Join us for this talk where Michael Hallsworth will discuss his recent book The Hypocrisy Trap: How Changing What We Criticize Can Improve Our Lives.

In discussion with Liam Delaney, Dr Hallsworth will explore how the "hypocrisy trap" — our relentless drive to expose inconsistency — either breeds more hypocrisy or exhausts our belief in shared standards altogether.
