About this title

Synopsis

People lie more than they think they do. The average adult tells about a lie a day. Sometimes more, sometimes serious ones, sometimes the small social ones that grease conversations.

The cost of missing the serious ones can be enormous. Bad partners. Bad hires. Bad business deals. Marriages built on a story that wasn't true.

This book teaches what to look for.

Not pop science. Not "if they touch their nose they're lying." The real cluster of signals - the ones investigators, profilers, and high-stakes negotiators learn to read.

Inside:

- The seven categories of deception cues. Verbal, physical, vocal. Each with specifics.
- Microexpressions - Paul Ekman's research, distilled. Seven universal faces. Each lasts a fifth of a second. Each tells you what's actually going on.
- Speech patterns of liars. Specific tics. Real examples.
- The questioning technique that makes deception harder to maintain. Used by police, useful in any conversation where the truth matters.
- Why "shifty eyes" is a myth. The actual gaze pattern that signals fabrication.
- How body language differs in spontaneous lies vs. rehearsed ones. Most beginners conflate them.
- Cognitive load methods - how to push someone's brain to the point where the lie cracks.

Some readers learn this and start spotting it everywhere - in family, at work, in interviews, in the news. The shift can be uncomfortable. It's also permanent.

Read it carefully. Practice in low-stakes conversations. The skill builds over months.
