About this ebook

Liespotting shows how to use the latest techniques to spot deception in work and life situations.

GET TO THE TRUTH

People--friends, family members, work colleagues, salespeople--lie to us all the time. Daily, hourly, constantly. None of us is immune, and all of us are victims. According to studies by several different researchers, most of us encounter nearly 200 lies a day.

Now there's something we can do about it. Pamela Meyer's Liespotting links three disciplines--facial recognition training, interrogation training, and a comprehensive survey of research in the field--into a specialized body of information developed specifically to help business leaders detect deception and get the information they need to successfully conduct their most important interactions and transactions.

Some of the nation's leading business executives have learned to use these methods to root out lies in high stakes situations. Liespotting for the first time brings years of knowledge--previously found only in the intelligence community, police training academies, and universities--into the corporate boardroom, the manager's meeting, the job interview, the legal proceeding, and the deal negotiation.

Ratings and reviews

I think the key to this book is discerning the practicality from the propaganda. In that sense, I was refreshed on previous training and readily detected deception in an in interview. It is a tool if you have skills. It won't make you a lie detector.

Truly accurate and worth the read! Know about different ways to spot lies and deceptions through your work environment!

Could use a third of the space to make her points.
