the truth about lying ![]()
The Sleeping Doll
I bought this after being totally facinated by the Book 'The Sleeping Doll'. and realised that a new co worker had previously studied the subject of Kenetics in great depth- I decided to turn the tables and study her.
This is an important book as the old eye shift and head tilt have now been replaced by far more sophisticated and subtle movements and tones. It also serves to enhance your own awareness of how you communicate through your own language both non verbal and verbal.
Extremely interesting ![]()
While this book won't make you an instant lie detector, it is extremely useful in dispelling myths such as someone looking into your eyes must be telling the truth. It contains sections detailing what to look for in each facial feature and what the person is doing with their hands, arms and legs.
Very useful for people who are involved with interviewing suspects or for people just nosy, wanting to trip up mates.
Probably the best of them all ![]()
After reading about 5 other books ( im not paranoid honest im a psychology student) i discovered that they were all lying. This book is the best of them all. It tells it like it is. None of these "if he looks left hes lying" routines. Which is impossible to impliment in everyday life anyway. This book contains good scientifically founded fact. Buy It

An excellent insight into a world of lies. A must have! ![]()
Different people will buy this book for different reasons, but no matter what the reason - it will provide a detailed view into the real world we live in, which includes an array of deception and lies.
It is hugely apparent in this book, that Stan Walters is very well versed in this topic. He is concise and accurate, and provides a wonderful understanding of how to detect and avoid a liar.
If you're interested in learning more about not just lying, but people in general and behavioural science, I would highly recommend you read this book first. Combined with other books about Body Language and facial expressions, this can fast become a tool you will use almost every day to make your life a little less complex - it will also allow you to be generally more approachable in a truthful conversation.
Wonderfully constructed. An absolute must have!
