Description
Breaking the law to breaking a promise - how do people lie and how can they be caught? Paul Ekman, a renowned expert in emotions research and nonverbal communication, reveals his latest research on lying and the methods for uncovering lies. This revised edition adds a new chapter with the most important behavioral clues to deceit. Ekman's groundbreaking inquiry into lying explores how lies vary in form and can differ from other types of misinformation that reveal untruths. He discusses how a person's body language, voice, and facial expressions can give away a lie, even to professional lie hunters such as judges, police officers, drug enforcement agents, and Secret Service agents. The book provides insight into the methods for uncovering lies, including Ekman's one-hour self-instructional program that trains people to observe and understand "micro expressions".
