Paul Ekman is a renowned expert in emotions research and
nonverbal communication. In Telling Lies, he describes how our language, facial
expressions, and the way we hold our bodies can be read to tell whether we are
being honest or not. It offers clues to deceit in the market place, politics
and marriage. The author described the most important behavioural clues to
deceit. Telling Lies describes how lies vary in form and how they can
differ from other types of misinformation that can reveal untruths. It
discusses how a person s body language, voice, and facial expressions can give
away a lie but still fool professional lie hunters even judges, police
officers, drug enforcement agents, and Secret Service agents.
