Rating:  Summary: I COUDN'T PUT IT DOWN Review: I just bought the book and I couldn't put it down. I think it is one of the best books put out. Although I have read it once, I will read it again because the psychology behind the techniques is amazing. Not only will people find this book very useful, the insights into human behavior are absolutely engaging. I have studies psychology for many years and the ideas and principles in this book go far beyond anything that I've ever learned or read. I found the techniques to get someone to confess to be the most fascinating. Not only do they work quickly, but also you don't have to spend much time at all learning how to do it. This book is truly great.
Rating:  Summary: Wow! What a Great Book ! Review: Talk about being able to stand your ground. My interests are mostly realated to personal, not business. When I tried my first technique, it worked right away. I was so happy and it is SO EASY! If I can do it anyone can.
Rating:  Summary: MY NEW BIBLE Review: This book is well organized, detailed and full of great tactics for telling if you're being lied to. You'll like it because the author gives clear-cut examples and explains very clearly how to apply the techniques in different situations. Everyone in my office is reading it but I think that it's also very effective in personal situations. As a single woman I like having the ability to tell if guys are full of it. It has become my Bible for the real world. You may be surprised at just how well the techniques work for you. One other great thing is that there isn't just one or two techniques that you have to always rely on. There must be about twenty different ones that can be used in just about any situation. The only thing is that the more advanced techniques take a little practice, but you can start using the simple ones right after you read it.
Rating:  Summary: Concise, thorough, easy to read, no-nonsense. Review: Lieberman gives you the bottom line in this book. No pop psychology here--the author tells you what you need to know.
Rating:  Summary: A Wild Book Review: I highly recommend this book to anyone in sales. I don't think it was Dr. Lieberman's intention to use the book in this way but I think I found a tremendous application for it. As anyone in sales knows, getting to the real objection is essential for closing the deal. This book is very helpful in that respect. Knowing when a prospect is being truthful or lying has always been a problem for me. Now, just by asking a few simple questions I can get to the heart of any objection. Great techniques and they work fast.
Rating:  Summary: HT discriminate against honest people with disabilities Review: All the symptoms David mentions can also explain medical conditions BEYOND THE PERSON'S CONTROL (about 15% of the population): 1. anxiety 2. distractibility/concentration problems: Some people concentrate BETTER when they are not looking the person in the eye or looking elsewhere! My recommendation to David, check out any book on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Adults. Or visit a libriary more often. -Miffed in Maryland
Rating:  Summary: I owe this book my life . . . Review: I recommend this book to anyone that fears that he or she may be in a relationship with someone who is cheating or lying. You can argue with the morality of the methods but you can't argue with their effectiveness. These techniques work just about every time and I can't tell you how much better I feel about myself knowing that I'm not be taken advantage of anymore. There is no worse feeling then being with someone who has been playing you for a fool for two and a half years. It took me about ten minutes to do three techniques on him. He failed all three and then an hour later told me the truth. I owe my life to this book. Read it and use it everyday of your life. I will.
Rating:  Summary: This book seems to be limited in scope. Review: This book seems to be limited in scope. It doesn't seek to explain other possible explanations for the behaviors mentioned. This book could possibly lead someone to believe they were being lied to when they are actually being told the truth. U also believe there is a good possibility you will upset anyone you try to use the methods on.
Rating:  Summary: Honest People Beware Review: This book would more aptly be called "How to Lie to People to Get Them to Tell You the Truth." The author advocates being dishonest with those you think are lying to you in order to trick them into telling you the truth. And once you have uncovered a lie, the author gives you no advice on what to do next. They've lied, and now you've lied to get them to be honest with you--now what? What people need is not a book that gives them only remotely helpful tips for telling if people are being dishonest (intuition seems to be good enough for most of us) but a book that tells you what to do with the people in your life who are dishonest with you. Catching them in a lie isn't enough--you need to know how to act to prevent the harm that lies can cause--and this book in no way teaches you that. A much better book for someone who is interested in the whole issue of lying is Sisela Bok's "Lying."
Rating:  Summary: I was very, very surprised Review: I heard everyone talking about this book and I genuinely thought that everyone was out of their minds. Never, did I ever think it was possible for a book to show me how to tell whenever I was being lied to. I could not have been more skeptical, and still was for the first twenty pages or so where Dr. Lieberman talks about body language. I thought big deal, lots of books do that. But then the amazing stuff started to come. And for the next 200 pages I was blown away by the techniques and will continue to use them every single day of my life. If you don't think it's possible to learn how to do this, very easily in a few days, then you'll be missing out on what I almost did. Take it from me, that would be a mistake. Now I know why everyone is talking about the book.
