In a world where fake news and misinformation is rampant, what role does honestly play? This week, Wake Forest philosopher Christian B. Miller dives into the ideas behind his new book The Honesty Crisis, revealing why honesty is far more complex — and essential — than simply telling the truth. In this thoughtful conversation with host Paula Felps, Christian explores why honesty feels harder in today’s world and what’s at stake for our relationships, our well-being, and our society when we abandon it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why honesty means more than just telling the truth.
  • How modern technology makes dishonesty easier, more tempting, and harder to detect — especially in classrooms and workplaces.
  • How honesty supports trust, reduces stress, and allows for genuine connection.
