Lieberman’s insights are backed by extensive research on human behavior. He also authored a previous book dedicated to spotting lies. Below, I’ll share some of his tips for discerning truth from deception, which can be handy in everyday life.
If you find these strategies useful, consider exploring more of David J. Lieberman's works on human behavior. They’re enjoyable, easy to read, and packed with practical advice.
Detecting Lies:
Trust issues can often lead to suspicion, but sometimes our instincts tell us when something feels off. So, how do we figure out if someone is lying?
When questioning a potential liar, they usually stick to their story. According to Lieberman, one way to reveal a lie is to introduce a fictional but believable detail related to their story and observe their reaction.
For instance, if someone claims, “I was at the Royal Theater for the six o’clock movie,” you might say, “I heard there was a big accident outside the theater just before six.” If they genuinely were there, they’ll likely respond calmly, denying the accident. However, if they’re lying, they may appear flustered, agreeing with your fabricated detail as they scramble to maintain their story.
While this method involves some deception, it can help you gauge the situation when you desperately need to know the truth.
Identifying Bluffing:
Bluffing involves pretending to be confident in a tricky situation to manipulate others into believing in your false advantage. The goal is to make others back down or surrender due to the illusion of power.
In card games, for example, a player with a poor hand might bluff with excessive confidence, trying to intimidate opponents into folding. They act as if they have strong cards, hoping others will believe and concede.
Lieberman points out that true confidence doesn’t require a show. If someone truly has a strong hand, they have no need to outwardly display confidence. They might remain neutral or even fake worry to mask their advantage.
Bluffing often involves trying too hard. Genuine confidence doesn’t need to be overstated. When someone is truly secure in their position, they don’t feel the need to overtly convince others of their confidence.
By being aware of these signs, you can better understand when someone might be lying or bluffing, helping you navigate your interactions with more clarity.
