On any given day we’re lied to from 10 to 200 times, and the clues to detect those lies can be subtle and counter-intuitive. Pamela Meyer, author of Liespotting, shows the manners and “hotspots” used by those trained to recognize deception — and she argues honesty is a value worth preserving.
“On any given day we’re lied to from 10 to 200 times.” And 73% of all statistics are made up.

As she said, liars practice their words, but not there gestures. Her mannerisms and gestures seem very practiced, unnatural.
And I think she lied about the Starbucks coffee date, watch it again. I found this fascinating but, to me, her overall vibe was a bit
too moralistic.
ps. “Every one suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues, and
this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known.” – Nick Carraway (The Great Gatsby)
