In "Spy the Lie," former CIA officers Philip Houston, Michael Floyd, and Susan Carnicero unveil the clandestine world of deception detection, honed through years of national security service. This riveting guide delves into the trio's development and use of a groundbreaking methodology to sniff out falsehoods in the high-stakes arenas of counterterrorism and criminal investigation. Beyond the realm of intelligence, the authors adapt their expertise for everyday life, offering readers the tools to discern truth in a myriad of personal and professional scenarios. From negotiating business deals to navigating personal relationships, "Spy the Lie" transforms the art of lie detection from a spy skill into an accessible, powerful tool for all. With engaging anecdotes and real-life examples, the authors illuminate the subtle cues that betray untruths, teaching readers to read between the lines of verbal and nonverbal responses. Whether it's a suspicious partner, a dodgy business associate, or a troubled teen, the techniques presented in "Spy the Lie" equip you to ask the right questions and see through the façade to the truth. This book is more than a manual on spotting falsehoods; it's a transformative journey that promises to change how you view the world and interact with others, ensuring you're never deceived again.

Human behavior isn’t necessarily logical, nor does it necessarily conform to our expectations. What each of us thinks of as logical is a reflection of our own beliefs, and of our own moral compass.
