In Telling Lies, he describes how our language, facial expressions, and the way we hold our bodies can be read to tell whether we are being honest or not. Fox TV has created a series inspired by Ekman s work starring Tim Roth, of Reservoir Dogs and The Incredible Hulk, as Dr. Cal Lightman, who is hired by law enforcement agencies to spot deception and expose the truth in criminal investigations. For this edition, Ekman has added a new chapter on his latest research. He has figured out the most important behavioral clues to deceit, developed a one-hour self-instructional program that trains people to observe and understand micro expressions, and done research that identifies the facial expressions that show if someone is likely to become violent. A self-instructional program to train recognition of these dangerous signals has also been developed. Lie to Me premieres on January 28, 2009. |

In terms of data, this is a very good book. Ekman is clearly very researched in his area, and he is able to break down the information in a way that it is possible for a layperson (such as myself) who has little to no information on the psychology behind lying. He goes through the possible motivations behind lying (and really, lying isn't always negative), the facial and behavioural clues, and even points out areas that people may not even notice. I particularly liked the appendix, where tables were set up to allow people how to read others.
A problem I found is that it is so very dry, particularly when he talks about polygraphs and the chapter entitled Lying in the 1990s. I just found my enthusiasm waning. It's a good book, don't get me wrong, but I found myself losing steam. If you don't mind dry works, then perhaps you, the reader of this review, will enjoy it more.
But it's highly informative, provides great detail, and is no doubt useful to those who Ekman dubs as 'lie catchers'
