The book explains how to detect lies, determine psychotypes, analyze facial expressions and emotions, recognize hidden motives, and predict actions. Special attention is given to cognitive distortions, the influence of stress on decision-making, the mechanisms of manipulation, patterns of social behavior, and the use of artificial intelligence in profiling.
