I ordered this book after watching this Video that was posted in a thread recently by someone, titled, Former CIA Officer Will Teach You How to Spot a Lie.

This is a copy of the video description:
In this participatory session, you will learn how to tell when someone is lying. Really. As a former CIA Officer with more than 20 years of experience in interviewing, interrogation and polygraph examination, Susan has seen her share of truth avoiders. She has, in fact, developed behavioral screening programs that are used by the federal government. Don’t miss out on learning her methodologies in spotting deception.

The book goes into more detail of the concepts presented in the video. The book is an easy read, features explanations, and many examples of question and answer sessions with truth avoiders. I was glad to have read the book, and feel more confident now if faced with a situation when detecting deception is important.

Yes, I watched the video and was favorably impressed and also ordered the book. Fascinating stuff and worth a look. After you read about the "tells", then go and re-watch Hillary Clinton talking about anything, but mostly answering questions in congressional hearings. Quite a revelation.
