Is your partner actually working late? Is that salesperson telling you the truth? Or are you being played? Research suggests you are lied to anywhere from 10 to 200 times a day. The scary part? You probably missed 99% of them. In this episode, we turn you into a Human Lie Detector. We strip away the myths (no, looking left doesn't always mean they are lying) and dive into the hard science used by FBI interrogators and behavioral psychologists to crack the code of deception. We explore how the human brain struggles under the massive cognitive load of maintaining a lie, causing "glitches" in reality that you can spot—if you know where to look. We decode the hidden signals: - The Baseline Shift: Why knowing a person's "normal" is the only way to spot their "abnormal." - Micro-Expressions: The split-second facial ticks that reveal true emotion before the mask goes up. - Cognitive Load: Why liars use "distancing language" (saying "that woman" instead of her name) and why their hand gestures often freeze when their brain is busy inventing a story. - The Body vs. The Mouth: How to spot when words say "yes" but the body screams "no." Stop guessing and start seeing the truth. Whether it's a poker game, a job interview, or a difficult conversation, these tools will change how you see everyone around you. 🎧 Press play to unlock the truth.

Top 3 Signs of a Lie: - Incongruence: Shaking head "no" while saying "yes." - Freezing: Sudden lack of hand gestures due to high cognitive load. - Distancing: Using formal language ("I did not have relations") instead of contractions ("I didn't").
