Detection of Deception: The Truth about Lying, in Business, in Law and in Life

Lying can be big business. People lie for a variety of reasons, but what it boils down to is that they lie because they believe it will benefit them and they lie hoping they can get away with it. Can you imagine, therefore, the huge benefit that any individual, or business, could gain if they could tell when someone was trying to deceive them?

We have all seen the TV show, the one where the guy with the English accent can tell someone is lying because of they way they smile, or twitch their nose for a fraction of a second. We have seen the stage performers who can convince an audience that they are a human lie detector. Well that is the fiction. People want to know the fact.
