Telling Lies Clues to Deceit in the Marketplace, Politics, and Marriage

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, presents updated information on his groundbreaking inquiry into lying and methods for uncovering lies. He analyzes a range of deception strategies-from the political strategies of international public figures, such as Adolf Hitler and Richard Nixon, to the deceitful behavior of private individuals, such as adulterers or petty criminals-and explains how a successful liar most often depends on a willfully innocent dupe. Ekman describes how lies vary in form and can differ from other types of misinformation; how interviewers should probe for more information that can reveal untruths; and how a person's body language, voice, and facial expressions can give away a lie but still fool professional lie hunters like judges, police officers, drug enforcement agents, Secret Service agents, and others.Ekman, Paul is the author of 'Telling Lies Clues to Deceit in the Marketplace, Politics, and Marriage', published 2001 under ISBN 9780393321883 and ISBN 0393321886.
