Never Be Lied to Again: How to Get the Truth in 5 Minutes or Less in Any Conversation or Situation

This book has an ambitious title, and while I have some level of skepticism after reading it that the hype was actually answered in the 200-some pages that follow the cover, the book has numerous tricks and tips that will help you uncover the truth, or at least probably identify the liar in your midst.Teaching and espousing techniques such as reading body language, deliberate trust techniques, neuro-lingustic programming, confusing statements, counter-lies and other methods I would imagine that would seen more often on CSI and CIA than in business or a relationship, the book will arm the reader with many tips, tricks and techniques for uncovering the liar.The one challenge the book leaves for the reader to figure out, however, is what to do when the truth comes out. Many of the techniques have a definite deceptive approach that, once exercised, will likely poison the well of any future relationship with the subject - whether the subject is lying or not.An interesting book with lots of valuable insights, just be judicous with the application of the techniques.

The author works from the premise that you have to be a liar to catch a liar. Though `Lie'-berman doesn't explicitly state it that way, he none the less leads the reader down that path. The deceitful methods to get the truth out of people that Lieberman stresses range from outright lying to white lying in order to judge whether or not the other person is lying. I know a great majority of the people who purchase this type of book aren't necessarily honest people themselves, but to those honest few who just want to know the truth you won't find it here, or at least not by any decent means.The title of the book should really be called "How to Lie Better". Lieberman states if you want to find out if your secretary has been leaving early you should pretend, rather assume that she is and then tell her that you know what she's done and that it's okay. To me this highlights the obvious flaw of the book and that is judge of character and proper screening is far superior at determining whether or not a person is likely to be a liar. Sadly Lieberman doesn't divulge this little secret. If people could learn to screen others more accurately there would hardly be a need for this book (not saying that people would stop lying, it'll just make it less likely).And that's where the boundary of integrity and common sense comes into play. If you don't care about integrity or lack common sense you will undoubtedly choose similar type of people into your life. This book merely masks the problem in a game of who lies better. Learning initially to screen people better will eradicate 99% of the problems outlined in the book.

Arrived earlier that expected which was a bonus (even with covid delays these days), CD case was smashed to bits but CDs ok (could have been packaged in more than an envelope...Two discs, first one was over in about 30min, second is 30 min and still going but I think it won't have much more than that - expected a bit more than that to be honest.Content is correct, but it is aimed at people being more direct in a more interrogation style - as in, if you used this and someone was truthful they would be offended. Likely to cause more havoc than good if you aren't diplomatic.It is all common sense, nothing new. Worth the buy, not really.

I first saw this book at the book store and the title and cover of the book make you want to shy away a little, but it's really what's inside that counts.First of all I read it from cover to cover in maybe 20 mintues, its a quick read because it has different sections from the beginning, reading someones body language, to after you found the lie and how to confront the other person or deal with the matter at hand. The book has quick heading and then more detailed descriptions below and it really lures you in to keep going and going.As one reader mentioned, a lot of it is instinctual but you'd be surprised how many times you were in the same situation but couldn't recognize it or deal with it as easily as the author outlines. A lot of time we know someone is lying but we cant quite prove it, even to ourselves and this book lets you pick up on those little things and read into them more.You'll be amazed how you can relate to the book, I'm sure the things outlined in this book have happened to all of us at one point or another but reading about the meanings and the signs and the approach is another thing all together.Great for relationships with family, siblings, parents, spouces and boy/girlfriends to work and dealing with people on a daily basis.

I coach interpersonal communication skills to business professionals. Non-verbal communication is a facet that the majority of my clients are awkward with and so do not understand how we are continuously sending messages. I picked up this book hoping to gain some new insights for my work – and I got more than a few!I actually learned something fresh from this book and I was made more aware of my own behaviors. Yes, you’ll learn how to detect if someone is lying, BUT, the book is really more than that. It illustrates so much of the “dynamics” part of interpersonal communication and how we can manage the impressions we create.I recommend this book to so many of my clients.

Pulp Psychology - the basis of the book is solid - Lieberman takes the 100 most common psychological elements, such as anxiety, laziness, fear of change, etc and then provides a very brief explanation of what may be causing these thoughts or feelings, as well as a couple (2-3) simple exercises to begin to address them.The information is superficially interesting, and you certainly can have a great time self-diagnosing your neurosis with the book. However, the book has little value beyond that - a mirror in which you can ask yourself some questions on your own limitations and psychological makeup, and a reflection of what might be a step to take to address it.The key to this book having any usefulness at all is the reader's ability to be objective and self-aware. That's likely to limit the appeal as well.

The book isn't what I expected, but that's not the sellers fault. Delivery from date of purchase was super fast.The book itself is just a little too general for my liking. I'm no critic, but the suggestions given in this book for each thought process/belief are a sometimes just a bit too flimsy and even childish. Some people might like it, I suppose, but for me it's..., well, like I said, not what I was looking for.

I am not really into this puzzle subject, so most went over my head.

All the books written by this author David Lieberman are superb - very clever and based on sound psychological principles.

A good book allowing a better understanding of the complexities of the human mind.Reading this will also allow you to see the reasons why people act they way they do.

This book has given me many useful insights of liars recommend.
