Rating:  - Hope a revised version is in the works...
Given the complexity of the subject matter, this book was about 60 pages too long and another 250 too short.
I'm kind of a, well let's just say it, expert on lying and interpersonal communication.Heck, just look at what I've been able to get across in just 2 sentences plus this one.
In conclusion I think this book took a subject matter which is deserving of much more serious consideration - at least 200 more pages of such - and presented it in a fairly random and scattered ... Read More
Rating:  - This is dangerous.
This book is really interesting. It's contains a lot of useful information. So why did I give it 0 stars? It's not what it advertises it to be.
If the book was advertised as examples of how a certain conflict situation went, what might have gone through the minds of parties involved, and Dr. Lieberman's explanation of mechanics of human mind explaining how that can be, I would have gave this book a top rating.
The reason I can't give any positive rating is that this book is written like ... Read More
Rating: - This guy is a nightmare...yuck.
It's rare that I can't help but take notes to write a review as I read a book.This book was so distasteful that those notes had to come out somewhere or fester inside like a pile of rotting meat.
Yeah, sorry.A bit dramatic, I know.Anyway, here are my notes:
- Poorly written sentences.
- Entirely unsupported assertions.
- He's a shameless self promoter (who *quotes themselves* in his or her own book?!)He is obviously very, very impressed with himself. ... Read More
Rating: - Please don't be suckered in to buying this book by its great title!!
This book should be subtitled: If you think someone is a liar, you are one step closer to proving it! Rarely do I see such a highly rated book with such dorky, inner Nixon, paranoid advice as this. Really, the author advises clumsy trickery and other shenanigans to get the liar to fess up. The premise that you are talking to someone that you already know is a liar, is the number one ace up your sleeve according to this book. This sounds like the hokey rationalizations that my stepmother and old babysitters used ... Read More
Rating: - In under 5 minutes??
If something appears too good to be true, it usually is.The author's shameless self promotion is another give away,but take a look at one of his principles----(skip the 5 minute idea and see the news programs where FBI agents; the best in the US, take 4 hours for a full interview...--
the principle the author says is that when someone is lying, they don't give many details because IT NEVER HAPPENED.
Look at the Casey Anthony case.We have INCREDIBLE details (literally).We have not ... Read More
