Help me identify a book about honesty

I skimmed a book a couple years ago about honesty that I'm keen to locate again. I can't remember the title, but I believe it would be similar in content with Sissela Bok's Lying or Brad Blanton's Radical Honesty. It was about telling the truth in various contexts.

Of particular interest was a chapter on using honesty with oneself as a way of dealing with the torrent of media most of us are confronted with in our day-to-day lives. I think it discussed ways to winnow through books, music, etc. to find what's really meaningful to you and not waste time on things that aren't.

I had to return the book to the libarary before I got a chance to finish reading it. I would very much like to find again. I believe it was written by a woman, but there's a 50% chance I'm wrong.

Lies We Live By, by Carl Hausman.
The Concise Book of Lying, by Evelin Sullivan.
On Bullshit and On Truth, both by Harry G. Frankfurt.
