How Can You Tell When Someone Is Lying? Pamela Meyer Reveals the Science (in 8 Minutes)

This explainer of How to Spot a Liar by Pamela Meyer exposes a surprising truth: we are all liars, and deception is woven into everyday life far more than we realize. From harmless white lies to billion-dollar corporate fraud, lying shapes our relationships, our workplaces, and even our safety. Meyer draws on decades of research to show why deception is so common — and how we can learn to spot it with clarity and integrity. She explains that lying is a cooperative act: a lie only works when someone agrees to believe it. She explores the psychology behind why people lie, the social norms that encourage it, and the subtle cues that reveal when someone’s story doesn’t add up. Using research, case studies, and video examples — from Bill Clinton’s televised denial to real interrogations — Meyer teaches how liars unconsciously leak information through their words, gestures, expressions, and attitudes. But Meyer’s goal is not “gotcha” policing. Her deeper message is that liespotting is ultimately about truth-seeking and trust-building. By learning to recognize red flags — inconsistencies, nonverbal leakage, overly detailed accounts, contempt expressions, and rehearsed stories — we become better communicators, better leaders, and better guardians of honesty in a noisy, post-truth world.
