The follow up to the award-winning Why Smart Women Make Bad Decisions, this laugh-out-loud self-help book teaches us how we can use critical thinking to protect ourselves against trusting the wrong people.

35-year-old Kat, having seen off her narcissistic boyfriend, believes that this is the year her life will click into gear. She is in a relationship with a lovely, decent man, she's enjoying her well-paid job and she has adopted a large groodle. Things are looking up!

Then her boss brings in a smooth-talking business guru, her neighbour employs a psychic to rid her flat of a curse and stylish but mysterious neighbours move in upstairs. Things start to go awry. Her happy life starts to fracture. Her relationship is threatened, the groodle disappears and she gets scammed.

This is a hilarious and insightful book about the lies we tell ourselves, the lies we tell others and the lies we’re told, and why we believe them. It’s less about why people lie, scam and obfuscate and more about why we are vulnerable to it.

But we shouldn’t judge ourselves for being overly trusting. Intelligence doesn’t protect us from being lied to; often, we are willing participants. If we desire something strongly and someone comes along and offers us that very thing – the dog, the love, the shoes, the anti-aging vitamin, the money or the future – the cognitive flaws in our brain kick into action and skew our thinking.

Using Kat’s universe as a microcosm of the world we all inhabit, Why Smart Women Buy the Lies is a relatable, thought-provoking and incredibly important must-read for women who are ready to use critical thinking to discern fact from fiction.

PRAISE FOR WHY SMART WOMEN BUY THE LIES

‘Annie’s writing is an antidote to the sea of disinformation that hits our inboxes every day. Funny, sceptical and compassionate. Read it.’ Juanita Phillips, ABC News presenter

‘Annie’s wicked sense of humour and brilliant insight shine brighter than ever in Why Smart Women Buy the Lies – great story telling that is engaging, educational and laugh-out-loud hilarious! Compulsory reading… and not just for women.’ Kate Raison, actor

‘Read this insightful, hilarious book and find out how to avoid buying the lies. I’m reading it twice to make sure I get it right.’ Georgie Parker, actor

‘Annie has amusingly integrated the art of critical thinking with the everyday experiences of intelligent women. Her conversational tone and priceless scenarios make her book an enlightening read.’ Catherine Ebert, clinical psychologist

‘Every bone in my corporate body told me that my ‘gut call’ was always the right one and my decisions were watertight. What nonsense that was! Why Smart Women Buy the Lies has shown me we are all susceptible to untruths and can lead ourselves astray with our decision-making. I now see that great leadership comes from actually having the discipline to apply critical thinking and take the time to understand our cognitive flaws.’ Ann Burns, Senior Executive, CEW Member, Non-Executive Director

Does not work
This product does not work very well. Also does not rub in easy and takes several days to get it off of you.

Caribbean approved sunscreen
we bought this sunscreen due to the fact that the Caribbean doesn’t allow other sunscreens that are not Reef safe. I’m usually not a fan of mineral sunscreen due to the fact that it leaves a white residue. This sunscreen still leaves a white residue, but it is a very minor white residue. It worked well for the pool on our cruise ship and for the ocean. I didn’t have to reapply as often as I thought I would have for a mineral sunscreen. I don’t know if I still feel that the product was worth the price/amount, but I was overall satisfied with the Protection it gave us.

Easy to handle
Style: Lawn Edger w/(1) 4.0 Ah Battery
This is fantastic. It was a breeze to put together, the battery lasts a good 45 minutes or more, it is easy to handle, and does a terrific job of edging the concrete driveway. the roadside curb, and the borders of my flower beds. It is not too heavy and has loads of power. I am a 5'1" woman 81 years old and this tool is very easy for me to use and carry. The size is not too long even for me to maneuver. It is easy to lean if you get clumps of dirt in the housing for the blade and it is adjustable to suit the depth needed at the time. It seems very well made. The price was reasonable and I think we may be friends for quite a whole.
