Book description
Imagine how different your life would be if you knew when someone
was lying or telling you the truth. Whether hiring a new employee,
investing money, knowing when your boss is being completely up-front,
finding out whether your child is being totally honest, or even dating
someone new, having the ability to unmask a lie can have far-reaching
and even life-altering consequences. As former CIA agents, Philip
Houston, Mike Floyd and Susan Carnicero are among the world's best at
recognizing deceptive behaviour. Spy The Lie chronicles the
fascinating story of how they used a methodology Houston developed to
detect deception in the counter-terrorism and criminal investigation
realms, and how these techniques can be applied in our daily lives.
Through thrilling anecdotes from their careers in counterintelligence,
the authors provide a foolproof means of identifying deceptive
behaviour, showing readers how to study nuances, both verbal and
non-verbal, such as putting hands to the face in response to a
question; repeating a question, using qualifiers ( basically, I ') and
much, much more.
