The movement was founded by a sixty-six-year-old Virginia-based psychotherapist named Brad Blanton. He says everybody would be happier if we just stopped lying. Tell the truth, all the time. This would be radical enough -- a world without fibs -- but Blanton goes further. He says we should toss out the filters between our brains and our mouths. If you think it, say it. Confess to your boss your secret plans to start your own company. If you're having fantasies about your wife's sister, Blanton says to tell your wife and tell her sister. It's the only path to authentic relationships. It's the only way to smash through modernity's soul-deadening alienation. Oversharing? No such thing.
Then the article goes further onto meeting with Brad Blanton and the journalist executing this philosophy into his daily life to very interesting results. This article is lauded with comparisons to some weird Andy Kaufman-esqe sketch.
I find the idea behind it fascinating. I want to ask you guys if you can do or live like this?, also; how often do you lie, dxalpha?
