From breaking the law to breaking a promise, how do people lie and how can they be caught?

In this revised edition, Paul Ekman, a renowned expert in emotions research and nonverbal communication, adds a new chapter to present his latest research on his groundbreaking inquiry into lying and the methods for uncovering lies. Ekman has figured out the most important behavioral clues to deceit; he has developed a one-hour self-instructional program that trains people to observe and understand "micro expressions"; and he has done research that identifies the facial expressions that show whether someone is likely to become violent—a self-instructional program to train recognition of these dangerous signals has also been developed.

Telling Lies describes how lies vary in form and how they can differ from other types of misinformation that can reveal untruths. It discusses how a person's body language, voice, and facial expressions can give away a lie but still fool professional lie hunters—even judges, police officers, drug enforcement agents, and Secret Service agents.

The most informative parts (forst few) are very condensed; so much so that it's hard to understand and remember. the useless parts later though are, on the contrary, too long.
Also, the book doesn't come with a pdf or something with illustrations?! really?! it would've been hard to follow even with it, and this way it's just useless in some parts. If u ask me it should come with videos even.

good, but with wrong accents

After watching the show “lie to me” I just had to learn more. It did not disappoint. All the examples explained make you think back to conversations and experiences you’ve had with others. It confines the hunch you might have had yet provides insight to others and yourself

Mind blowing 🤯

Excellent book but an accompanying pdf would be very useful for better understanding. It can still be added, just saying...

Informative but sometimes hard to follow

Would have been so much better if the audiobook included a PDF with the tables and charts.
