Spotting Fakers, lies, and illusions using elementary theories about the mind

Liar detection that works Spot liars by their actions. This requires that we learn to pay more attention to the actions of people instead of their words. It may take a bit longer than going by first impressions but trust me, it's worth the effort. When the time comes to choose a business or life partner, you'll thank yourself for every effort you made to be better at detecting lies, false information and liars. Not to mention when the time comes to pass that knowledge to your children. Surely you don't want to send them out into the "jungle" unprepared. That's it? Spot liars by their actions? Of course, it is easier said than done which is why I wrote a book on the subject. To support this method with detailed guides, practices, and even theories about the mind. It's not like you can't already tell lies. You can! As a matter of fact you already possess the tools to become a lie detection expert. All you need is more practice, a bit of theory, information, and most importantly the inspiration to trust your split second judgments. These (split second judgments) are commonly misunderstood and ignored but once you read my book you'll know exactly what to make of them and how to harvest their power. How NOT to detect lying Many guides claim that liars can be detected based on physical signs such as tone, facial expressions, body language, delayed response, and much more. Such methods are not reliable enough. But don't take my word for it. Just do a few Goggle searches and read some of the comments and you'll discover the controversy surrounding the subject. Also consider this: If people can cheat a polygraph (lie detector) test (which is super sensitive) then why couldn't they cheat our senses? Promoters of appearance based lie detection methods may also claim that the exceptions (the liars who can go undetected) are few and negligible or just ignore the subject entirely. Not surprisingly. After all, who would read these if the truth was told which is that we can't reliably detect liars by appearances and first impressions. Artful liars can fool even the experts of such methods. What makes these methods unreliable? Lying is simply a matter of presenting false information while acting naturally or acting in alignment with the lie. The more one does that (lie) the better one gets at it. The better someone is at lying (faking) the less likely we'll be able to detect them by looking for physical tell tale signs. In reality we can only catch the occasional and relatively inexperienced liar. Compulsive (lifelong) liars are the ones who slip through such methods of detection at ease and they are the real concern when they exploit others. Do you really need a whole book on the subject? Our societies are abundant with lies, deceit and false information. False advertisement, scams, predatory loans, bait and switch business tactics, hidden expenses, etc. Let me show you how you can shut the door to all of these once and for all by spotting lies, illusions and false information accurately. Once you spot the false in a lie, it's not a lie any more. It's just someone attempting to fool us. The false can only affect us adversely when it goes unnoticed. My book not only supports avoiding bad experiences but also lays the foundation to "letting go" of past negative experiences through understanding. I did my best to put all this in plain English as one of my favourite quotes I try to live up to is: If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. - Albert Einstein
