Book Description

Have you ever been lied to? Of course you have, whether you knew it or not.

Ever caught a spouse, business partner, parent, boss, or child brazenly lying right to your face? What if you could tell someone was lying, just by listening to them, and observing their action and behavior?How to Spot a Liar is the first book that gives you the tools to figure out what's really going on: to gain the upper hand in salary negotiation, move a prospective client toward the outcome you desire, and find out why you need to end a business or personal relationship.

Author Greg Hartley is a decorated military interrogator who has used the techniques in How to Spot a Liar for 16 years to get the truth from enemy combatants. He has successfully applied them to project management and in contract negotiations, to resolve conflict and prevail. Now he shares this scientific process with you so you can use it every day.

Who needs How to Spot a Liar? Anyone with a cheating spouse or manipulative boss. Anyone conducting job interviews or cold-calling prospective customers. Lawyers who need to "read" witnesses or jurors. Anyone trying to survive the dating scene or faced with a string of business meetings with clients. Anyone who has teenagers at home or works on Capitol Hill. Anyone whose success and happiness depends on clear interaction with others.

And anyone who wants to become just a bit more inscrutable, in business, life…even at the poker table!

Gregory Hartley's expertise as an interrogator first earned him honors with the United States Army. More recently, it has drawn organizations such as the Defense Intelligence Agency, Navy SEALS, Federal law enforcement agencies, and national TV to seek his insights about "how to" as well as "why." He resides near Atlanta, Georgia.

Maryann Karinch is the author of eight books, including Rangers Lead the Way: The Army Rangers' Guide to Leading Your Organization Through Chaos (with Dean Hohl) and founder of The Rudy Agency, a literary agency based in Estes Park, Colorado.

Insightful and useful information.......2007-09-13

This book is full of insightful and useful information that even the everyday person can incorporate into their lives. It taught me what to look for when speaking to a person and has already been helpful with my business colleagues. Thanks for the info!

Jumpy but good information.......2007-06-01

The information in this book is very interesting, but its hard to apply it to your own life, even in the sections committed to every day occurrences. It seemed to jump back and forth and each chapter seemed to reference another. This book would be great after a few reads to get a feel for the techniques described.

good book for spotting liars.......2007-03-09

the book teaches you about baselinig people,which i thought was pretty good.and also how to avoid falling for these techniques if some one trys to basline you.all in all i thought it was a good well rounded book that covered allot of ground.

Highly recommended........2006-11-24

As a psychiatrist, interviewing techniques are essential. Awareness of "changes" in posture, facial expression, voice tone, limb movement, and speech from "baseline" are extremely important in identifying areas of a person's life where treatment is needed. This book is very helpful.

Although this book is appropriately focused on identifying persons who have committed crimes or "wrongs," the same techniques can be used to become more sensitive to others in order to be a helpful friend, family member, spouse or lover.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to be a better listener and helpful human being.

Spot a liar is spot on!.......2006-10-30

Outstanding and accessible lessons drawn from a very complex field of human study. Greg Hartley selectively distills wisdom learned from years of real-world experience and presents a set of tools that can be effectively used in everyday life.

This book is insightful, revealing and surprising. It will even have you thinking about your own motivations for saying and acting the way you do!

Save Your Money!!!!!.......2003-10-14

This book took only 1/2 hour to read. To summarize -- do a background to check their facts, and if they look away during an interview, they are lying. This book describes nothing about cultural differences in body posture that may affect an interview, and does not describe body postures (other than the eyes) that denote a lack of truthfulness. He does not provide enough information to differentiate between nervous interviewees and liars. His examples are basic and purile. What a waste of money this was!

The most valuable book I ever bought.......2001-03-19

This book is absolutely amazing! I was skeptical when I first got it, but it works wonders in the interview room. I have a new power now to filter out future problems. Typical is an application we received for an executive position. During the interview the guy looked great, but using the stuff in this book I tripped him up 4 times in the first 10 minutes. We hired another applicant who is doing great. Thanks, Dr. Ford!

A "must have" book for anyone who does hiring.......2001-01-13

There is no way to over-emphasize the importance of mastering the art of screening out bad applicants. With this book, you can be a "wizard" in spotting and weeding out the liars who are trying to put one over on you. It is not only a great step-by-step guide but a great reference for dealing with many types of situations. I like having the choice of using the normal screening mode or the "hardball" techniques for special cases. I am now my own lie detector. I am also sharing these techniques with others in my company who hire.

My new ace in the hole for interviews.......2000-12-10

What a great tool! This book gives you the things you need to weed out the liars that you might otherwise hire. The stuff works. I've tried it and I can say without reservation it works. There are of course different levels of techniques. There are regular techniques to use in selecting top condidates and specialized techniques only for hard cases. We don't get these tough nuts but for those who do, that chapter lets you fight fire with fire. The quality of our hires has been upgraded through use of this fine book. The author is to be congratulated.

WIDE RANGE OF HELPFUL TECHNIQUES.......2000-07-23

We have found the techniques in this book to be of great help in our effort to screen out unsuitable candidates. Most applicants tell us they can do the job. With this book we have been able to sort out those who really can.
