SPY THE LIE

Imagine how different your life would be if you knew when someone was lying or telling you the truth. Former CIA agents Philip Houston, Mike Floyd and Susan Carnicero are among the world's best at recognising deceptive behaviour. Their book chronicles the fascinating story of how they used a methodology Houston developed to detect deception in counter-terrorism and criminal investigation realms, and how these techniques can be applied in our daily and business lives. Through thrilling anecdotes from their careers in counter intelligence, they provide a foolproof means of identifying deceptive behaviour, showing readers how to study nuances, both verbal and non-verbal, including hands to the face in response to a question, grooming gestures, invoking religion (I swear to God), repeating the question, qualifiers (basically) and much more. As your level of understanding increases you will be able to spot the subtleties of liars far more easily. 258pp, paperback.
