But above all, she thinks you should know that she is a compulsive liar. Trying to break this habit for the sake of Normal Ben, an honest and uncomplicated man, she attempts a sincere reckoning with her long history of deception, its psychological roots and the terrible cost it has exacted on her relationships.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut can we believe a word she says?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFunny, sexy, and politically astute, Attention-Seeking Behaviour is at once a personal confessional and a critical history of lie detection methods.
