Introduction:
In
an ideal society there would be no need for lies. But we live in a
world of deception. And whether you want to
play or not, you’re
in the game. The question is, do you want to win?

Signs of Deception.
Once
you realize that you’re being lied to, should you confront the
liar immediately? Usually not. The best
approach is to note the
fact in your mind and continue with the conversation, trying to
extract more information.
Once you confront someone who has lied
to you, the tone of the conversation changes and gathering additional
facts
becomes difficult. Therefore, wait until you have all the
evidence you want and then decide whether to confront the
person
at that time or hold off to figure how you can best use this insight
to your advantage.

Lie Detector:
The
clues to deception can be used with great reliability in everyday
situations and conversations. However, if you
must know the truth
in a given situation, this part provides you with a sequence of
questions that virtually guarantees
that you will know (a) if
you’re being lied to and (b) what the truth is if it’s
not obvious from the lie. When used in
order, all three phases
offer you the greatest opportunity to get at the truth.
