About This Course

How many times have you been lied to today?

Statistics on lie detection reveal the truth: on average, we all get lied to about 10 times per day! It's time to realize who is lying to our face without us realizing it. Its a crucial skill in business and our personal life as well. Without this skill, we chose to date cheaters, go into business with fraudsters and even end up losing our faith in humanity.

But it does not have to be that way: modern social science sheds light on one of the most crucial areas of human existence: The question whom we can trust and whom we cannot.

Being able to know when you are being lied to can save you from having a very bad time in your professional and personal life, especially when the person lying to you occupies a special part of your life. To be able to spot when someone is telling the truth is an important life skill especially when you find out that there are so many techniques used and you didn't even know they existed. In this course you will realise that you don't need to be a detective or an FBI agent to be able to catch a liar.

A liars facial expressions

Their eyes - mirror to the soul

A person's eyes can often give away the complete picture of what a person is thinking - but you need to be able to understand the science behind eye movement and what it means to be able to accurately spot a liar or a fraudster. In addition, Paul Ekman’s research has isolated nine facial indicators as reliable clues to deception —which anyone can spot if they know how to look for them.

Furthermore, body postures and a persons statement structure can add additional deceptive quality to the liar. Elements like fatigue, stress, hunger, concern about getting home on time—can affect how someone expresses himself.

Finally, verbal leaks are the mistakes people make when they expend so much cognitive energy on maintaining their lies that their brains have trouble keeping track of what they’re saying. “Ums” and “ahs,” inconsistent grammatical choices, and many other errors fall into this category.

The stakes are high. Being tricked by liars can destroy our lifes. Let's catch the liars and eliminate them from our life.
