Facial Expression of the Day/Testimonial

Is that a happy genuine smile or a social smile?

There are marker that identify each. Do you know what they are?

If you don’t, I highly recommend my course, “How to Spot A Liar:  Master Class”   In the course, I teach you how to understand human behavior first and foremost, and then I teach you when behavior is abnormal and indicates deception. Participants from my class tell me they feel like they learned a whole new language after learning my techniques!

Here is a video testimonial of the class from Brent Frethey!  Thanks, Brent!

Subconscious Lie Detection Better Than Conscious

A study out of the University of California, Berkeley, found that we are better at picking up deception with our subconscious brain. It appears when we consciously try to spot a lie, we interfere with our innate system.

You know the old saying, “Don’t second guess yourself” or “Trust your first gut instinct”.  There is definitely something to this.

Dr. David Eagleman, a neuroscientist, out of Baylor University, says our conscious brain is only a small portion of our brain.  In his terms, its the “broom closet” of our mind. Most of what goes on in our head is unknown to us, though it is the engine by which we move and make decisions. It happens as Eagleman says “under the hood”–under your conscious awareness.

So the next time you wonder what is going on, and you don’t know for sure, you are probably best to trust your gut instinct rather than question it.

Reading Foreign Faces

As Westerners, when we look at people from the East, we often struggle to identify different nationalities. It’s more challenging for us to identify Taiwanese features and distinguish them from say Japanese or Vietnamese features.  It’s even difficult at times to distinguish the differences in facial subtleties of people of the same nationality.

But have you ever wondered if we are equally as challenging to read to Easterners?

We actually are more challenging for them to differentiate for them, too!

Does this surprise you?

It’s much like meeting a foreigner. You assume “they” have an accent, right? When in reality you BOTH have an accent to each other.
