Telling Lies: Clues to Deceit in the Marketplace, Politics, and Marriage

Is it true that the modern person, on average, lies three times in ten minutes of conversation? How should you react when lies have spread into every sphere of human life? What do you do if you can’t recognize lies by words and voice? In this book, Paul Ekman provides thorough answers to these questions. Remember: hiding deception is extremely difficult. Universal microexpressions and micro-gestures always give a liar away, regardless of social status and nationality. Learn to notice what others can’t see.

The book is intended for everyone interested in uncovering deception: politicians and businessmen, doctors and lawyers, psychologists, teachers, managers, housewives—anyone who doesn’t want to become a victim of deception and psychological manipulation in professional and personal life.
