Spy the Lie: Former CIA Officers Teach You How to Detect Deception

Imagine how different your life would be if you knew when someone was lying or telling you the truth. Whether hiring a new employee, investing money, knowing when your boss is being completely up-front, finding out whether your child is being totally honest, 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 behaviour. 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 behaviour, showing readers how to study nuances, both verbal and non-verbal, such as putting hands to the face in response to a question; repeating a question, using qualifiers ('basically, I.') and much, much more.
