How to Spot a Liar: Why People Don't Tell the Truth...and How You Can Catch Them

This book is full of insightful and useful information that even the everyday person can incorporate into their lives. It taught me what to look for when speaking to a person and has already been helpful with my business colleagues. Thanks for the info!

Outstanding and accessible lessons drawn from a very complex field of human study. Greg Hartley selectively distills wisdom learned from years of real-world experience and presents a set of tools that can be effectively used in everyday life. This book is insightful, revealing and surprising. It will even have you thinking about your own motivations for saying and acting the way you do!

This is the best book on the subject of reading people, I have ever read. The techniques developed to interrogate prisoners have direct application in conducting interviews and/or high level contract negotiations. My only negative comment would be the layout could be improved. The author jumps between individual topics within the same general subject. I would highly recommend the work to anyone involved in negotiations. DMR

Mr. Hartley's book is a eye opening journey in how to find out what another person is communicating through non verbal cues. Whether you are intrested in building your effectiveness as a communicator, or knowing whether someone is being less than truthful with you, this is a great source of the skill sets that you need. I found that it not only gave insight on how and why business prospects behave, but also gave insight to my non verbal behavours. A must read for anyone who earns their living interacting with the public.

This book is a great resource for anyone learning how to better understand people - in any situation. Particularly useful are the subjects of baselining and the detailed description of how to watch for physical inconsistencies. Greg has done a good job of helping the common person understand how powerful body language can be on both sides of an interaction. With practice, the tactics in this book can help anyone sincerely interested in understanding people do so more effectively.
