Book Reviews of Never Be Lied to Again : How to Get the Truth in 5 Minutes or Less in Any Conversation or Situation
Book Review: You have to be a liar to catch a liar?
Summary: 2 Stars
The author works from the premise that you have to be a liar to catch a liar. Though `Lie'-berman doesn't explicitly state it that way, he none the less leads the reader down that path. The deceitful methods to get the truth out of people that Lieberman stresses range from outright lying to white lying in order to judge whether or not the other person is lying. I know a great majority of the people who purchase this type of book aren't necessarily honest people themselves, but to those honest few who just want to know the truth you won't find it here, or at least not by any decent means.
The title of the book should really be called "How to Lie Better". Lieberman states if you want to find out if your secretary has been leaving early you should pretend, rather assume that she is and then tell her that you know what she's done and that it's okay. To me this highlights the obvious flaw of the book and that is judge of character and proper screening is far superior at determining whether or not a person is likely to be a liar. Sadly Lieberman doesn't divulge this little secret. If people could learn to screen others more accurately there would hardly be a need for this book (not saying that people would stop lying, it'll just make it less likely).
And that's where the boundary of integrity and common sense comes into play. If you don't care about integrity or lack common sense you will undoubtedly choose similar type of people into your life. This book merely masks the problem in a game of who lies better. Learning initially to screen people better will eradicate 99% of the problems outlined in the book.
