Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Worried about being lied to? Let certified military interrogator and Naval Human Intelligence Officer, Lena Sisco show you how to spot a lie!

Lena wrote You're Lying! because no matter what your profession or life circumstances, you need the skills to take control of a situation, detect deception, and reveal the truth. While you probably won't ever have to interrogate a detainee who doesn't want to tell you about an upcoming terrorist attack--as Lena has-- You're Lying! will help you deal with that salesperson trying to rip you off, the kid bullying your child who claims innocence, a cheating spouse, or dissembling boss. As the adage says, knowledge is power.

Lena interrogated numerous members of Al Qaeda and the Taliban while stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, then taught those skills to Defense Department personnel for years afterward. Her ability to build rapport, accurately read body language, and employ effective questioning techniques led to numerous successes that saved American lives.

You will also learn her easy-to-follow five-step program on how to accurately detect verbal (both spoken and written) and non-verbal deceptive tells, how to conduct an effective line of questioning, and what to do after you identify the lies we all face every day.

Take the knowledge in You're Lying! and empower yourself.

Don't get fooled again.

You are not a mind reader: uncover the primary myth about detecting deception -- Why do people lie? -- The human lie detector versus the lie detector machine -- My five step program for reading body language: be a body language expert -- Be a REBLE -- R is for relax -- E is for establish rapport: getting people to want to like you -- Personality preferences: how to change yours to meet theirs -- B is for baseline: using all your senses -- L is for look for deviations: behavioral incongruence -- E is for extract the truth: verbal tells -- Your toolkit for reading body language.
