Maybe it was the way they twisted conversations. The subtle guilt. The inconsistencies you could never fully explain. The feeling that you were slowly losing trust in your own instincts while trying to keep the peace.

This book is about learning to recognize those patterns before they cost you your confidence, your relationships, or your peace of mind.

In How to Read People Like a Human Lie Detector, Candice M. Royer breaks down the subtle behaviors, manipulation tactics, and emotional inconsistencies people reveal long before the damage becomes obvious. Written in a relatable, emotionally intelligent style, this book helps you sharpen your instincts without becoming cold, paranoid, or closed off.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

Spot manipulation before it escalates
Recognize gaslighting, guilt tactics, DARVO, love bombing, and emotional control
Identify hidden resentment, fake intentions, and performative behavior
Understand why your gut feeling is usually right
Read body language, tone shifts, and behavioral patterns more accurately
Stop explaining away red flags
Set boundaries without guilt
Protect your peace without losing your softness

This is not a book about becoming suspicious of everyone.

It is a book about learning to trust yourself again.

If you’ve ever left a conversation confused, ignored your instincts to keep a relationship alive, or felt emotionally drained by people you could never quite figure out, this book will help you see those dynamics clearly and respond differently moving forward.

Because the signs are usually there early.

The real change happens when you finally stop talking yourself out of what you already know.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
