"Three former CIA officers--the world's foremost authorities
on recognizing deceptive behavior--share their techniques
for spotting a lie Imagine how different your life would be
if you knew when someone was lying or telling you the truth.
Whether hiring a new employee, assessing the veracity of
legal testimony, investing in a financial interest, knowing
when your boss is being completely up-front, ascertaining
whether your child is being totally honest with you, or even
dating someone new, having the ability to unmask a lie can
have far-reaching and even life-altering consequences. As
former CIA agents, Philip Houston, Mike Floyd and Susan
Carnicero are among the world's best at recognizing
deceptive behavior. Spy The Lie chronicles the fascinating
story of how they used a methodology Houston developed to
detect deception in the counter-terrorism and criminal
investigation realms, and how these techniques can be
applied in our daily lives. Through thrilling anecdotes from
their careers in counterintelligence, the authors provide a
foolproof means of identifying deceptive behavior, showing
readers how to study nuances, both verbal and non-verbal,
including: [bullet] Hand(s) to the face in response to a
question [bullet] Grooming gestures [bullet] Invoking
religion ("I swear to God") [bullet] Repeating the question
[bullet] Qualifiers ("Basically") [bullet] And much, much
more"--
