    Learn the new state-of-the-art techniques for detecting deception used by law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Very importantly, you'll also learn how to apply the tools and techniques to detect lies over the phone and in text messages and emails. 
    In addition to defending yourself against deception, we'll also discuss the tools and techniques in this book from the opposite perspective - for those times you need to be an effective liar and guard against having your deception detected by others. 
    We'll also discuss: 
    - Simple signs someone could be lying to you: Body language, verbal indicators, speech patterns, word choice, hand gestures, facial expressions, physiological responses, and much more.  
    - The ways you can question people to trap them in a lie or make their lies blatantly stand out.  
    - The classic 9-step 'Reid Technique' used in most police interrogations so you know not only how to apply it when talking to others, but also how to guard against it and stay out of jail.  
    - The flaws in the polygraph lie detector and how people beat it. 
    - How groups of people trying to deceive you sabotage themselves, and the rest of the group, by unintentionally making common errors that make lies clearly stand out, even when they're standing right next to their friends. 
    People unknowingly reveal much more information than they planned to through their word choice, so we'll also cover the ways you can read between the lines of what was said to learn more than they planned to share. You'll be amazed at what you can learn, and you'll gain significant advantages.  
    You'll be able to start applying what you've learned immediately after you've finished reading this book by using the example procedures, responses, strategies, behaviors, and action steps. It works; and it will work for you. Read this book, apply the information, and see for yourself.

    With respect to finger counting among civilized peoples, we fail, then, to find any universal law; the most that can be said is that more begin with the little finger than with the thumb. But when we proceed to the study of this slight but important particular among savages, we find them employing a certain order of succession with such substantial uniformity that the conclusion is inevitable that there must lie back of this some well-defined reason, or perhaps instinct, which guides them in their choice. This instinct is undoubtedly the outgrowth of the almost universal right-handedness of the human race. In finger counting, whether among children or adults, the beginning is made on the left hand, except in the case of left-handed individuals; and even then the start is almost as likely to be on the left hand as on the right. Savage tribes, as might be expected, begin with the left hand. Not only is this custom almost invariable, when tribes as a whole are considered, but the little finger is nearly always called into requisition first. To account for this uniformity, Lieutenant Gushing gives the following theory,10 which is well considered, and is based on the results of careful study and observation among the Zuñi Indians of the Southwest: “Primitive man when abroad never lightly quit hold of his weapons. If he wanted to count, he did as the Zuñi afield does to-day; he tucked his instrument under his left arm, thus constraining the latter, but leaving the right hand free, that he might check off with it the fingers of the rigidly elevated left hand.

    So why do we give speeches? I mean, talk about an effort! When you agree to give a speech all of a sudden you realize that you've signed yourself up to pick what you want to talk about, do whatever research is required, actually write the speech, and then spend a great deal of time practicing how you are going to say it. What's the purpose of all of this?
    
    What You'll Find Inside:
    PRESENTATION CHALLENGE: HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY TALK TO TEENS – AND SURVIVE!
    WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU SAY THE WRONG THING DURING A PRESENTATION
    D.O.A.: WHY PRESENTERS HATE BAD INTRODUCTIONS
    HANDLING HECKLERS: 5 WAYS THAT PRESENTERS CAN RESTORE ORDER
    
    It turns out that the purpose is actually quite simple – we want our next presentation to make a difference. No matter if we've agreed to talk with teens, if we've screwed up and said the wrong thing, or if we're not sure that our voice is up to giving a speech, we always want to make sure that our efforts are going to count for something.
    
    Speeches are not easy to give. We have to struggle with getting bad introductions, make sure that we offend a few people as possible if we are giving toasts, and be aware of all of the nonverbal signals that we are sending to our audience.
    
    Because speaking can be so hard to so, when we get a chance to watch a famous person speak, we need to seize the opportunity – it's like going to speech giving school. They'll teach us critical skills like how to handle hecklers and how to give an effective keynote speech. 
    
    It may not always seem this way, but as speakers we do have power. We need to learn how to tap into the power that we have and use it to deliver the best speech that we possibly can.
