What did your boss really 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 body language, it's become even harder to discern someone's true thoughts or intentions. A leading lie-detection instructor to the FBI and other security agencies, psychotherapist David Lieberman, PhD, takes "people reading" to a whole new level. In Mindreader, 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, a 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.
