Well...since I am reading the same book (The Last Sorcerer), I will put a new teaser next week!
Anyway, I will just write a warning:
I was reading also "Never be lied to again" by David Lieberman and I could not go on with it. This guy is completely psycho about cheating partners, boyfriends, girldfriends, wives, husbands, fiancé, your mom, dad, your dog, your cat... almost anyone!!!! Being a PhD I hoped he would talk more in a real psychological-scientific and practical way which can be applied anywhere (like ex FBI agent Joe Navarro does) but I was truly disappointed by Lieberman.
For the body language fans, he does not say anything new (e.g if the person is saying incoherent things suspect the veracity of what he´s saying...-.- C´mon!!).
He also jumps to conclusions quite fastly. For example, if the person touches it´s nose, she or he is lying. Joe Navarro in his book "What Every BODY Is Saying" explains that these sings are also stress signs and not necessarily deception signs. Before jumping to a fast conclusion, signs like nose touching need to be analyzed with the other body signs, in the context of the situation, and with verbal hints to detect a possible deception. He also marks the importance of analyzing in context by telling that the misinterpretation of signs like nose or ear touching in a courtroom are part of the reasons innocent people go to jail.
