Overview

Have you ever talked to a salesperson, read a newspaper article, heard a politician, or listened to a podcast and then asked yourself, ""What was that person really saying?"" If so, you've found the right book! Where Truth Lies: A Guide to Understanding What People Really Are Saying compiles what Stan Burke learned in his more than 35 years as an FBI Special Agent and as a law-enforcement educator. In that time he has analyzed hundreds of statements from victims, witnesses, suspects, and other law-enforcement officers -- including conversations, interviews, interrogations, speeches, press conferences, and sales pitches -- to pinpoint a person's intent in the words they choose. Are they being truthful? Are they trying to hide their own or someone else's guilt? This book is useful to anyone interested in understanding how to look for truth and for hidden lies in what people say. Chapter 1 explains why and how people manipulate language. Chapters 2 through 11 explain the various methodologies used to examine individual statements. This book includes sample statements to illustrate each methodology, practice exercises with analysis to understand that methodology, and tips for using the methodology. Along the way are even more comprehensive exercises. Get out your pencil and learn what people really are saying!
