Written with equal parts wit and wisdom, this humorous guide catalogs the shameless lies found in daily life, paying particular attention to the most common falsehood-filled occasions, such as business negotiations, job interviews, used car shopping, and confrontations with kids over alleged keg parties. The discussion covers identifying characteristics of liars, including unique gender differences, verbal slips and physical tics, and evidence of confused thinking. Sidebars called TipBits offer expert advice and cite scientific and historical facts about conning and swindling, while the conclusion explores the effectiveness of both ancient and modern technological solutions for busting liars and provides even more proven methods for detecting.
