When liars are being accused of something, they'll stay calm because they're working on their rebuttal; this is why detectives were suspicious of O.J. Simpson when he didn't express outrage when accused of murdering his ex-wife and Ronald Goldman. Never Be Lied to Again is bursting with tested tips like this for quickly determining when you're being boondoggled. Body language, facial expressions, sentence structure, and word choice can all reveal when someone is lying, says psychologist David J. Lieberman, and he includes 46 of these "clues to deception" to help you, including tricks for framing questions without putting others on the defense. Once you use your newly honed "human lie detector" skills to figure out if you're being lied to, you can then dig for the truth using the specific, influential words and body postures that Lieberman suggests. Written with flair and humor, Never Be Lied to Again is designed to help you get the upper hand in any situation, whether you're trying to figure out if your spouse is cheating on you or if you suspect your coworkers are cooking the books.

Amazon.com Audiobook Review
It's difficult to have honest communication in a world where people bend the truth to fit their needs. Even more difficult is confronting a suspected liar in an open, forthright manner. In Never Be Lied to Again, human behaviorist Dr. Lieberman coaches listeners to face unfaithful lovers, colleagues, and employees. Lieberman introduces the tape and the remainder is read by male and female voices in varied tones. These different voices pinpoint numerous verbal and physical clues that will help you detect when people are lying; "attack sequences" and "silver bullets" allow you to initiate discussions with the guilty party. Although much of the information is geared to personal rather than professional situations, this tape is still a good resource for starting uncomfortable conversations.

From AudioFile
[Editor's Note: The following is a combined review with the unabridged NEVER BE LIED TO AGAIN.]--The basis of this particular book is that you can learn how to tell when people are lying by learning how to observe, by probing for revealing information, and by learning what not to say or do in these situations. The incredible amount of information in the book makes it overwhelming in the unabridged format. With no written outline, it's impossible to keep up with the organization of the material. It needs a written study guide. Another problem is Richard M. Davidson sounds like someone from the 1950s. The abridged version is introduced by the author, who has a reasonable speaking personality. It's then read alternatively by Jan Maxwell and Scott Brice, whose voices are considerably warmer, though still too serious, for my taste. Happily, they make the ideas more inviting and digestible. In the shorter format, the basic ideas don't seem so overwhelming. And at $12 it's a much better value. T.W. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

never be lied to again
this is my third liberman book. easy to read and very informative. applicable in every day life

Must Read
a great book. very practical. teaches how to pick up lies, and even to lie more effectively and convincingly. requires practice to interpret people but is so worth it.

Reads like a sleazy salesman
As another reviewer pointed out, this book teaches you techniques that you can use to attempt to get at the truth by either means of deceit or manipulation. Unfortunately, for those that strive to become the master manipulator, this book falls short due to too many assumptions about the person you're trying to manipulate, especially the assumption that the person is completely clueless about you trying to manipulate him/her. When used again a more observant person - someone that is knowledgeable about body language and/or manipulation - you will probably end up degrading your relationship with that person, in that he/she will no longer trust you because of how you treated him/her. Also, if you end up being wrong about the person lying, I'm sure you'll end up looking like the liar. Having said that, I did find about 20-30% of the book interesting because it provided some suggestions on how to approach someone which doesn't involve deceit. For that, I'm giving it a 2/5. In any case, from the front cover that promises you the world to the back cover with the picture of the author dressed to impress, this book reads and looks like a sleazy salesman.
