Edited by Dina Nayeri
Dina Nayeri’s “Who Gets Believed?” is a groundbreaking book about persuasion and performance that asks unsettling questions about lies, truths, and the difference between being believed and being dismissed in situations spanning asylum interviews, emergency rooms, consulting jobs, and family life.
Nayeri explores an aspect of our society that is rarely held up to the light.
The book is as deeply personal as it is profound in its reflections on morals, language, human psychology, and the unspoken social codes that determine how we relate to one another.
