About this listen

Getting someone to tell the truth is an essential skill that very few people possess. In the boardroom, the classroom, or our own homes, every day we interact with others and try to get the truth from them. People are often untruthful out of fear of negative consequences associated with divulging information. But if a person is made to forget the long-term outcomes, he or she can be influenced to disclose sensitive information that's being withheld. The aim is to encourage the person to remain in short-term thinking mode, shifting focus away from the long-term ramifications of telling the truth.

As former CIA agents and best-selling authors of Spy the Lie, Philip Houston, Mike Floyd, and Susan Carnicero are among the world's best at recognizing deceptive behavior and eliciting the truth from even the most accomplished liars. Get the Truth is a step-by-step guide that empowers readers to elicit the truth from others. It also chronicles the fascinating story of how the authors used a methodology Houston developed to elicit the truth in the counterterrorism and criminal investigation realms and how these techniques can be applied to our daily lives. Using thrilling anecdotes from their careers in counterintelligence, and with easy-to-follow instructions, the authors provide a foolproof means of getting absolutely anybody to give an honest answer.

Get the Truth is the easy and effective way to learn how to get the truth every time.

Much of the content of this book can be found in "Spy the Lie", which was not a surprise as it was said in the beginning that it would be the case. The performance was well done but the content of the book was at times tedious, but still interesting and educational. I have yet to put theses skills to use but I hope they are not needed any time soon.

Much of this book is covered in "Spy the Lie"

Would you listen to Get the Truth again? Why?

Yes, I like this book just like I liked Spy the Lie. I do however think that Spy the Lie was a better book and hearing the stories the first time around made it more interesting. This book could have been better if they added the two hours or new material to the old book and just made it an updated edition.

Almost the Same Book
