The Easiest Way to Spot a Liar Within 2 Minutes

Bright Side

About this episode

According to psychologists, 90% of the information you receive is nonverbal. Unconsciously, we read the body position and gestures of the speaker, guess their mood by voice timbre, and can even understand if they’re telling the truth or not. Did you know, for example, that licking or biting the lips is the sign someone is lying to you? The thing is that with every minute, it becomes more difficult for a liar to speak because everything dries up in their mouth. Police officers call this effect "cotton mouth”. Isn't it interesting? So, let’s find out what Allan Pease (aka “Mr. Body Language”), Dr. Lillian Glass, and other body language experts have to say about this!
