Tired of guessing what they're really thinking? Read people in every
situation--in person, on a screen, or in writing--using the new science
of psycholinguistics, from a New York Times bestselling author and
consultant to the FBI, CIA, and NSA.
"A treasure trove of concepts, ideas, and tools that we can all master
to be safer and happier. It's a must-read!"--Joe Navarro, author of
Dangerous Personalities
What did your boss mean in that email? Is your mechanic stretching the
truth? Whether you're engaged in a casual conversation or a high-stakes
negotiation, it's critical to understand the subtext of a situation. But
with so much interaction happening on screens--via email, texts, or
video chat--we are losing the ability to interpret expressions and cues.
Furthermore, since many are now savvy about the meaning of body
language, it's become even harder to discern someone's true thoughts or
intentions.
A leading lie-detection expert who instructs the FBI and other security
agencies, noted psychotherapist David Lieberman, PhD, takes "people
reading" to a whole new level. Drawing on the latest research in
psycholinguistics--the cues embedded in spoken and written speech--he
shows you how to apply his cutting-edge methods to countless everyday
situations, including:
- Detecting the messaging behind passive language, personal or
impersonal descriptions, and level of detail.
- Determining whether someone's account of any incident is the truth or
a work of fiction.
- Finding out whether a potential hire, dating app match, or new
babysitter is trustworthy or hiding something.
Nobody wants to be played a fool. Mindreader will help us identify who
can be trusted, and who may be out to get us.
