Has anyone read this book?

I'm reading it right now... and the authors views are... interesting

Maybe I don't get it. She tries to portray deception as a natural part of life, which needs to be practised and perfected, contrary to... well just about every personal development writer.

She justifies it by using "the end justifies the means" thing i.e. You can lie to people as long as it's good (in your eyes) in the long run.

... Maybe I'm just too naive. :S

Thoughts?
