Never Be Lied to Again: How to Get the Truth In 5 Minutes or Less in Any Conversation or situation
When liars are being accused of something, they'll stay calm because
they're working on their rebuttal; this is why detectives were
suspicious of O.J. Simpson when he didn't express outrage when accused
of murdering his ex-wife and Ronald Goldman.
Never Be Lied to Again is bursting with tested tips like this for quickly determining when you're being boondoggled.Body language, facial expressions, sentence structure, and word choice can all reveal when someone is lying, says psychologist David J. Lieberman, and he includes 46 of these "clues to deception" to help you, including tricks for framing questions without putting others on the defense. Once you use your
newly honed "human lie detector" skills to figure out if you're being
lied to, you can then dig for the truth using the specific, influential
words and body postures that Lieberman suggests. Written with flair and
humor,
Never Be Lied to Again is designed to help you get the
upper hand in any situation, whether you're trying to figure out if
your spouse is cheating on you or if you suspect your coworkers are
cooking the books.
