âA treasure trove of concepts, ideas, and tools that we can all master to be safer and happier. Itâs a must-read!ââJoe Navarro, author of Dangerous Personalities
What did your boss mean in that email? Is your mechanic stretching the truth? Whether youâre engaged in a casual conversation or a high-stakes negotiation, itâs critical to understand the subtext of a situation. But with so much interaction happening on screensâvia email, texts, or video chatâwe are losing the ability to interpret expressions and cues. Furthermore, since many are now savvy about the meaning of body language, itâs become even harder to discern someoneâs true thoughts or intentions.
A leading lie-detection expert who instructs the FBI and other security agencies, noted psychotherapist David Lieberman, PhD, takes âpeople readingâ to a whole new level. Drawing on the latest research in psycholinguisticsâthe cues embedded in spoken and written speechâhe shows you how to apply his cutting-edge methods to countless everyday situations, including:
⢠Detecting the messaging behind passive language, personal or impersonal descriptions, and level of detail.
⢠Determining whether someoneâs account of any incident is the truth or a work of fiction.
⢠Finding out whether a potential hire, dating app match, or new babysitter is trustworthy or hiding something.
