What This File Contains
Most of what you believe about detecting lies is wrong. Television, pop psychology, and common sense have filled your head with myths that actively interfere with genuine deception detection.
This file strips away the myths and replaces them with techniques that were developed in active intelligence operations and validated by peer-reviewed research. What remains is a practical system for identifying dishonesty — in conversations, in text messages, in emails, and in the behaviour of the people closest to you.
After reading this, you will never listen to an apology the same way again.

"The most dangerous liars do not avoid eye contact. They maintain it longer than normal because they are performing honesty rather than experiencing it. Sustained eye contact during a critical statement is not a sign of truth. It is a sign of effort."
