Greg Mortenson, the bestselling author of Three Cups of Tea, is a man who has built a global reputation as a selfless humanitarian and children’s crusader, and he’s been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. But, as Jon Krakauer demonstrates in this extensively researched and penetrating book, he is not all that he appears to be.

I did not read Three Cups of Tea. It seemed - from a distance - like a schmaltzy look at attempting large social change. That doesn't interest me, because I feel the terms are simplified to tell a story. And in that simplification, things are presented in a way that is too good to be true. This simplification loses how challenging it is to create lasting social change.

It seemed - from a distance - like a schmaltzy look at attempting large social change. That doesn't interest me, because I feel the terms are simplified to tell a story. And in that simplification, things are presented in a way that is too good to be true. This simplification loses how challenging it is to create lasting social change.

Jon Krakauer gave money to Greg Mortenson early on to support building schools in Afghanistan with an emphasis on reaching girls. Krakauer has three main concerns with Mortenson: 1) his story is not true and likely falsified to make a better story and therefore a better fundraising appeal, 2) he mismanages funds, co-mingling his personal and business expenses and then lets the non-profit entity, CAI, pay for them, 3) he has not built nor sustained the number of schools he claims to support.

This has stirred a lot of controversy including a 60 Minutes segment and an explosion of discussion on blogs. Krakauer also feels that Mortenson has rejected attempts to make CAI more transparent and accountable because ultimately he does not want to change his practice. Krakauer then goes on to guess why Mortenson does not want to be more transparent. It's this lack of transparency that I believe is the biggest problem - it hurts Mortenson but it hurts other organizations engaged in this work. And by this kind of work - I mean more than efforts in Afghanistan - I mean social change that seems insurmountable.

Supporters of Mortenson argue there are cultural misunderstandings that have lead to confusion which justify Mortenson's version of events. My concern is the US's consumption of celebrity driven activities and causes.

For me, this is a good example of the cult of celebrity. People wanted Mortenson's story to be true. I think some people still want it to be true. It helps them believe change is possible and feel that they have contributed to that change. And small projects are a bit like the question - "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" If a project does not receive a lot of attention and no one is around to see it, does it make an impact? The answer is yes - but will it be funded?

That is an imperfect comparison - but I do believe that people struggle with understanding social change as it is happening. We seek simplified stories that make big steps toward progress appear possible in our lifetime.

I saw Greg Mortenson speak in Miami in July last year and was captivated by his story. Each delegate at the conference were given a copy of Three Cups of Tea (the young adult version) and a hardback copy of Stones into Schools. I thought this was very generous of the publisher, but according to this exposé, Mortenson usually buys the books for such events using his charity's funds, so that (a) he can receive royalties (not his charity, mind!), which he wouldn't if the publisher donated the books...more

Krakauer was an emotional and financial supporter of Greg Mortenson, the author of Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace ... One School at a Time, the mountaineer who created a non-profit empire building schools in Pakistan ostensibly as a way to thwart the influence of the Taliban and Islamic revolutionary teaching. He became somewhat of a cult figure and was soon jetting around the country giving inspiring talks about his good works. Emphasis on *his* good works.

Krakauer, who had donated $75,000 to Mortenson’s foundation, the Central Asia Institute, became disenchanted as he heard more and more stories of misuse of funds by Mortenson and his lack of accountability. This single is the story of Mortenson and Krakauer’s investigation into the Foundation.

That story is interesting enough, but I have become intrigued by the thesis proposed by Jonathan Haidt in The Righteous Mind As it happens, I poked around the 60 Minutes website, seeking more information about the Mortenson case. In early April 2011, they broadcast a story detailing some of the allegations against Mortenson and his foundation. I didn’t watch the show, but I did read all 354 comments about the story on their website. Commenters were divided into two camps: those who had an emotional attachment to Mortenson and his good works and who accepted everything he said at face value; and the other, a very small minority (perhaps 10%), who were more interested in presenting evidence of Mortenson’s malfeasance, arguing that just doing “some” good was not enough to ignore facts related to his lack of accountability and problems with the CAI. Both sides would respond to each other but rarely listen to what the other was saying. It seemed to me a classic example of what Haidt saw in the dichotomy between emotional and rational ways of looking at issues. I won’t try to summarize Haidt’s book here but will save that for my review later. Nevertheless, it was disheartening to see how little communication surfaced in the comments between the two groups which consolidated based on their respective pre-conceptions.

A good friend and I discussed this with regard to the Wisconsin recall election, Andy unable to understand why so many union members were voting for Walker, totally against their economic interests, and I trying to apply Haidt noting that it represented a difference in prioritizing values. If, for example, you believe in supporting authority and that same-sex marriage is an abomination, your view of the world will be less influenced by the economic interests valued more highly by other groups. (That’s presented perhaps a little simplistically, but I think you’ll get the idea.

Since Krakauer’s little essay appeared (by the way, I love Kindle shorts) Mortenson has settled for more than a $million with the Montana Attorney General (he was charged, among other things, with using CAI funds for personal expenses and the IRS was after him also for not declaring those as income.) The CharityWatch organization (American Institute of Philanthropy) has also published several articles detailing the CAI’s malfeasance.

Mr. Mortenson is a pathological liar. Yes he had nice idea, he performed many good things in Central Asia BUT all that as far as I'm concerned because what he was doing behind the scene doesn't justify him a bit. Of course I do hope charity will fulfill its mission without him and I hope even more that he'll face the justice.

The good news is Greg Mortenson had/has a nice idea. The bad news is that he's a pathological liar with little regard for credibility and accountabulity -- but he's happy to spend 41 cents of every non-profit-donated dollar on dubious Afghani schools, and 59 cents on what amounts to the glorification of Greg Mortenson.

Krakauer writes so clearly, than even though I wasn't really up on the whole Three Cups of Tea concept, I fully understood what was going on. Turns out this guy, Mortenson, is great at getting people to give him money, but he is lousy at managing a multi-million-dollar charity. As various well-intentioned but poorly thought-out celebrity charities have recently shown, a good "concept" is rarely the key to successful works.

I must say this one both shocked me and made me wonder how much of what did not happen had to do with the American military presence in Afghanistan, and Pakistan. This book goes into the humanitarian "projects" of one Greg Mortenson, a former nurse from San Francisco. Readers may know him by the books he had ghostwritten for him: "Three Cups of Tea" and "Stones for Schools". After reading this book, I wondered if Mortenson's parents should not have made sure their son attended school himself when they were doing missionary work in Tanzania. (I was given a copy of each of these books, and I have not read them. I will definitely not read them now. They are full of fictional fabricated people and places and events that the 'author' never went, met, or attended.) What does this say for our international relations with countries which have been associated with terrorism? Do you think Mortenson cared? I doubt it. All he seemed to care about in his narcissistic manner was the money HE received from all the donations given him by citizens, agencies and even children's school lunch money. The books were definitely cooked to a fine and false story. So many of his people quit in disgust that it is a wonder any school was built. Of the ones which WERE built (not in the areas he said they were), most of them are ghost schools, empty. He didn't bother to fund training teachers to teach these children, although as he always did, he promised he would. Instead he used much of this money on luxury jet trips for him and his family and friends, luxury hotel suites and God knows what else. The author of this book himself had donated thousands of dollars towards this worthy cause. It is just too bad that once again people were fooled by another con artist. He even kept the royalties from the books he didn't even write for his own use. When, oh when are people going to start realizing that unless we care for each other on this planet, we at some future time may no longer be around. There is no place for selfishness in the 21st century. As Jesus once said "the least ye do for my brethren, ye do for me."(less)

It took Jon Krakauer 75 pages to unravel all the lies spun by Mortenson and Relin in 350 pages of three cups of tea. I wasn't blown away by Krakauers writing in this one, but he didn't intend this to be like one of his longer books. He succinctly unravels Mortenson's deceit.

While it acknowledges that he has done some good and had the potential to do much more, it captures how (although it cannot explain why) Mortenson has repeatedly turned his back on those who tried to bring to his attention problems with his organization. It highlights how he has altered the time and place of events and made many out of whole cloth. And it shines light...more

Three Cups of Deceit sheds light on the myth of Three Cups of Tea author Greg Mortenson. Krakauer, a well-known author of a number of excellent books, was conned by Mortenson along with many others. According to Krakauer's well-researched book, the accounting at the Central Asia Institute (Mortenson's charity) is highly suspect, and his books are filled with exaggerations and lies. Krakauer says that, were expenses reported honestly, "CAI's fundraising and administrative expenses would actually...more

This time, it's personal. Krakauer lost at least $50,000 to Mortensen, and lended his name to the charity. When the inconsistencies in Mortensen's books, speeches and interviews became apparent, Krakauer wrote a short ebook, which is on Kindle for maybe $1.99. It's listed...more

Reading Deceit really helped to solidify the thoughts and feelings I had toward Greg Mortenson after reading Three Cups of Tea. I still think that set out to do a good thing, but his lacking managerial skills and his inability to be accountable for his actions are ultimately what's going to be his downfall. I'm still not convinced he's a malicious person, but I do believe he doesn't understand that running a charity has rules and expectations and that when someone donates to his organization, th...more

Whether or not this book was born from spite, I can't say, but one thing is clear: If you are going to con people, avoid writers/investigative reporters who make a living on exposes.

Greg Mortenson is almost a cliche -- self-centered, egomaniacal, semi-psychopathic liar who believed his lies were untouchable. Because when you tell falsehoods about people in remote areas of the world...you just naturally assume no one would ever give them your book to read? It's not even that Mortenson misused funds...he told wholly formed lies all throughout his books. To lie...and then go on to do amazing things, is sad. To lie, and then say you are doing amazing things while really pocketing the money people are giving to your work? Is criminal, pathetic...and, almost, evil.

I am on board with the argument that DESPITE Mortenson the CAI has done amazing things in remote areas of the world. He has built schools; not as many as he would like you to believe, but he has built them. And even taking time to build one school for children in Pakistan is a great achievement. He is an awful person, but his deeds can still be used for good. So, I think it's fine to celebrate the accomplishments and not the man. (Understanding that when he brags about his accomplishments, he isn't telling you the truth.)

But...I hope that with this book by Kraukauer more people will become aware of how Mortenson, the man, has failed...and instead funnel their money into organizations that do great things and are held accountable. Ethical humanitarian organizations are not hard to find.

This is really a depressing saga of how one man duped an international audience for a LONG time. We believe what we read. We wanted to take him at his word. And we fell for a con. Now, someone with altruistic intentions, go take over the CAI -- retire Mortenson, let him slink off into a blip on our nation's history...and move on. To dwell on him is to continue to give him power. Instead, put your money where your anger is and give to people who ARE doing important things for our world. (less)
