Book review:
Liespotting:
Proven Techniques to Detect Deception
by Pamela Meyer
New York: St. Martin’s Press, 2010
236 pages
Pamela Meyer says the average person encounters a lie almost 200 times a day. Wow.
Seems like it’s a good bet that you’ve told a lie in the last few hours.
Liespotting is a how-to book—not how to tell a lie, but how to read the clues when someone isn’t telling you the truth.
It turns out that it’s real hard to lie without some part of your body giving you away. Your face, your tone of voice, your word choices, your syntax, your shoulders, your feet, you name it…
Meyer offers plenty of bullet point reminders about how to spot the howlers, the white lies, and the tells when you’re in the middle of an important negotiation.
Honestly, that’s what that lady said, I think.
