Want to avoid being manipulated? - Rated
Having read this book it was quite shocking in retrospect to have the realization that i had been so easily fooled in the past by someone's lies. There being people out there who are very good liers, I will certainly be studying and using the techniques in this book to avoid this happening in future. In addition, the book is well structured and light hearted in places.

Amateur investigating for the naive. - Rated
This is a wonderful book for those of a paranoid disposition. Most of the techniques are common knowledge anyway. The cues that "prove" that "you are being done over" are quite a laugh. This is a book that will lead to broken relationships if utilised by those naive enough to take this to heart. This material would lead one to believe that no ever told them the truth. If we all walked around with the Lieberman "silver bullet" of truth attitude, by misguidedly policing peoples reactions, what a sad world would create for ourselves. This is a multicultural world we live in and as such many ethnic social styles lay waste to Liebermans parochial generalisations.
This book regresses from cheap trick "pop-psychology" to wannabe "investigator think". Disgraceful

A brilliant, pin-point specific book, and a POWERFUL tool. - Rated
When you see the title of this book, you are at some point going to be sceptical - and rightly so. Obviously, just buying the thing isn't going to stop you being lied to, and nor is reading it. Take the information in, though, and choose to use it, and I am convinced that you will have quite extrordinary results.

In a way it's relief to say that I have used only a tiny percentage of the material, and therefore cannot say everything works like magic... It remains the case, however, that the occassions on which these realistic and simple techniques were applied, they were incredibly effective.

There is only one reservation to state! SOME of the principles would be considered dubious, if used in a professional setting... Running through one or two scenarios, I found myself hesitant about applying such strong psychological pressure on an employee. Employment law would, I think, not allow for a few of the more intense methods.

The fact that this reservation does not prevent my giving five stars ought say something about the rest. Buy the book, Be lied to again... and know not only that you have been, but also how to deal with the situation.

The Swiss Army Knife Of Lie Detection - Rated
Andy Blackwell, Board Governor and Fellow of the Institute of Professional Investigators, reviews David J Lieberman's book 'Never Be Lied To Again'

Getting the truth in five minutes or less in any conversation or situation is one skill no doubt all professional investigators would dearly love to perfect. David J Lieberman, a specialist in the field of human behaviour (who is also a board-certified hypnotherapist with a Ph.D. in psychology) makes this claim in his fascinating book 'Never Be Lied To Again'.

David focuses on the truth and how to get at it. His book is divided into eight parts, each of which explores in depth a facet of lying. The author claims that the techniques mentioned in the book will assist you to discover whether you're being lied to.

The author commences his work by explaining that there are at least forty-six clues to deception. Whilst some of these involve the fundamentals of body language, others use more advanced techniques and processes such as psycholinguistic emphasis and neural choice perception.

A specific game plan to detect deceit is also provided and involves the reader choosing from a variety of scripted sequences, each from a different psychological angle. Each script provides a primer, attack sequence, and 'silver bullets' (techniques designed to obtain a confession).

Tactics for detecting deceit and gathering information in casual conversations are also given. These are useful when you believe that someone is lying to you but circumstances preclude a full interrogation.

A section entitled 'Mind Games' includes details of two simple techniques that the author claims provide 'extraordinary' results. The first technique shows you how to avoid being lied to in the first place, whilst the second teaches you how to find a person's true intention in any situation.

Lieberman provides a 'Ten Commandments of Human Behaviour' as a means of demonstrating to the reader how the brain processes information. An understanding of which, he claims, will enable us to influence anyone to tell the truth.

Not only are lie-detection methods admirably explained in this book, but also the internal truth blockers that can interfere with, or even completely block our ability to detect deceit.

The advanced techniques described in the book are based on a blend of hypnosis and 'Trance Scripts' developed by Lieberman, and are intended to be used in situations where the interviewer is trying to persuade the 'subject' to tell the truth.

Investigators practising in the UK need to ensure that any actions they take are not deemed to be oppressive or 'unfair', as this may render evidence inadmissible in criminal proceedings. Forensic hypnosis is strictly controlled in the UK, therefore the use of some of the advanced techniques mentioned in Lieberman's book is unlikely to meet Home Office Guidelines on the subject. The author sensibly includes the following warning to readers: 'To those in law enforcement: make sure that you check appropriate federal and state laws regarding both interviewing and interrogation. Those in the private sector must use common sense when using the system'.

Lieberman's book is the 'Swiss Army Knife' of Lie Detection Techniques for investigators, a fascinating insight into human behaviour at its worst. Whilst local laws may preclude the use of some of the methods described in the book, others can be used quite freely and will no doubt be particularly useful for professional investigators.

I COUDN'T PUT IT DOWN - Rated
I just bought the book and I couldn't put it down. I think it is one of the best books put out. Although I have read it once, I will read it again because the psychology behind the techniques is amazing.

Not only will people find this book very useful, the insights into human behavior are absolutely engaging. I have studies psychology for many years and the ideas and principles in this book go far beyond anything that I've ever learned or read.

I found the techniques to get someone to confess to be the most fascinating. Not only do they work quickly, but also you don't have to spend much time at all learning how to do it.

This book is truly great.
