| Summary |
"The leading lie-detection instructor to the FBI and other security agencies for over two decades, David Lieberman, PhD, takes "people reading" to a whole new level. Drawing on the latest research in psycholinguistics-the vital cues embedded in spoken and written speech patterns--Mindreader delivers proven, cutting-edge methods useful for countless real life applications, including: Learning to detect the messaging behind passive and indirect language, personal or impersonal descriptions, and the levels of detail someone is willing to share. Quickly determining whether someone's account of any incident or experience is the absolute truth or a work of complete fiction. Finding out whether a potential hire, a blind date, or the new babysitter is trustworthy or hiding something. Nobody wants to be played a fool. Mindreader will save readers time, energy, and heartache by identifying who can be trusted, and who is out to get them"-- Provided by publisher. |
