Never Be Lied to Again: How to Get the Truth In 5 Minutes or Less in Any Conversation or situation
When liars are being accused of something, they'll stay calm because
they're working on their rebuttal; this is why detectives were
suspicious of O.J. Simpson when he didn't express outrage when accused
of murdering his ex-wife and Ronald Goldman.
Never Be Lied to Again is bursting with tested tips like this for quickly determining when you're being boondoggled.Body language, facial expressions, sentence structure, and word choice can all reveal when someone is lying, says psychologist David J. Lieberman, and he includes 46 of these "clues to deception" to help you, including tricks for framing questions without putting others on the defense. Once you use your
newly honed "human lie detector" skills to figure out if you're being
lied to, you can then dig for the truth using the specific, influential
words and body postures that Lieberman suggests. Written with flair and
humor,
Never Be Lied to Again is designed to help you get the
upper hand in any situation, whether you're trying to figure out if
your spouse is cheating on you or if you suspect your coworkers are
cooking the books.
Developing an Association for Language Teachers Handbook This handbook has one simple purpose. That is, to provide some practical suggestions for language teachers. It may be that you are thinking about setting up an association or that you have already started an association and would like more ideas on certain aspects. The suggestions which are presented here are all based on the practical experience of teachers in many parts of the world.
However, we cannot pretend that all the ideas in this handbook can be applied automatically in any situation. When setting up or developing an association you will, of course, have to pay primary attention to the needs of language teachers in your own situation. You will also have to pay attention to the constraints of your own situation, and make use of the resources which are available in your situation. It is impossible for a short handbook to deal with all the possibilities which may exist.
Think of this handbook, then, simply as a bank of suggestions. It is for you to adopt,
adapt or reject these suggestions as you think fit.
