Are we telling ourselves the truth? Today we dive into the topic of honesty, which is the subject of Judi Ketteler\\u2019s forthcoming book, \\u201cWould I Lie To You? The Amazing Power of Being Honest in World That Lies.\\u201d Judi and I talk about the roots of lying in her own life, how honesty isn\\u2019t as simple as you might believe, and why in this fractured time in our history we should all question our decisions around telling the truth. We talk a lot about friendship on this show, and Judi tells us why she feels making and keeping friends in your 40s is hard.

This book is about relationships, and Judi makes the case that honesty improves them. The most important relationship is the one that you have with yourself.\\xa0

She\\u2019s also an award-winning columnist for Cincinnati Magazine, where she writes pieces about the weirdness of midlife. She is the author of two non-fiction books on sewing.
