The ultimate source to self understanding
By
M.Farouk Radwan
Body Language: Liars usually hide their palms and almost never sit
straight while telling a lie. They also avoid eye contact and generally use
negative evaluation gestures, that is if they feel bad while lying (For more
information, check the full page on a liars body language below)
Eye Accessing Cues Mismatch: According to NLP, the direction the eye
takes reflects the order taking place in the brain at the time. For example,
looking towards the upper left side means that you are constructing an
image in your mind, but if you're looking towards the upper right side then
you're recalling an image. How can that be of use? Well, think about it; if
someone is looking in the upper left direction as while asking about
something then he's probably constructing an image of the lie he's about

to tell; this is one of the signs that he could be lying. (See the full guide to
eye accessing cues and liar detection below).
Feeling Anxious: Almost anyone who lies feels anxious; with various
degrees depending on how professional the liar is. One of your concerns
should be trying to spot his state of anxiety; talk as much as you can about
the subject in order to keep him anxious. Check out anxiety body
language in order to be able to detect anxiety.
Avoiding the Subject: A person who wants to hide something will usually
try to avoid bringing it up in the conversation or even talking about
anything remotely related to it. Try to talk about anything related to the
situation without addressing it directly and see if he tries to jump out of it
into another topic.
Speaking Slowly: When lying, the person will usually be making up his
talk as he goes along; that would result in slower speech or even several
complete stops to provide him/her with time to think about what he's about
to say next.
I Want to Hide: A liar will usually have an unconscious desire to hide, but
since he can't go anywhere this will be reflected in his posture and body
movement. Accordingly, a liar will almost always have his back bent a
little, trying to get his body to occupy smaller space (it's almost like one's

Giving too much Evidence When Telling the Truth: when someone
who is used to lying tells the truth, he will probably try to prove it with as
much evidence as one can; that's because one usually doesnt consider
one's honest answer to be strong evidence. Take this as an example:
Mom: Joe , did you eat those sweets?
Joe: of course not, you know I can't eat sweets because my teeth are
hurting me. You can ask Tom; he'll tell you I haven't. Believe me, I haven't
been anywhere near them; anyone in the house can confirm this fact.
The conclusion is that Joe wants to say: "Mom, this time is not like all
other times; I really am not lying this time".
Body Language: As soon as you change the subject or stop asking about
the topic, a liar's body language may change from a state of anxiety
(fingernail biting, fidgeting, sweating and jiggling the contents of pockets)
to a state of relaxation (breathing deeply and taking up open gestures).
See the guide for full body language information).
Lack of Alignment: If the person is telling the truth, his body language
and tone of voice will match his spoken words. However, if this person is
lying, there will be a misalignment between his voice and his words. For
example, telling you that he is really interested in a topic as he leans back
in the chair and his head not tilted back may also indicate that he's lying.
(Check this article for more information on body language of the
interested).
Fake Smiles: A true smile is the result of the movement of different facial
muscles; cheek muscles and the muscle groups below the eyes. This in
turn leads to a few wrinkles in the face, especially below the eyes. Fake
smiles only result in the movement of the muscles around the mouth; all
the other muscles remain in place.
Sweating If you keep repeating a question over and over, a thin film of
sweat will form on a liar's face and palms. If the lighting of the room
doesn't change and this person's face shines a little more, then this is an
indication of the presence of sweat on his face. If your hands slip when
shaking hands, this may be the indication of the presence of sweat on his
hands.
Lower left; Kinesthetic (K): This is the direction someone's eyes would
move towards when accessing his feelings; that's the direction his eyes
could move to when asked something like, how did it feel to fail that
exam?"
Lower right; Auditory Digital (AD): This is the direction someone's eyes
move to when having an inner-self conversation.
you're going to use this method; the "liar detection", else you will find that
everyone is a liar!!
The person in question may have the directions reserved (the VC and the
VR are reserved), in such a case all you have to do is ask him a question
that you already know the answer to; your job is to observe where his
eyes go. Doing so, you'll be able to know the direction he uses for
remembering and thus the other will be that of construction. You can then
ask him the question you want the answer to and observe if his eyes go
towards a different direction from that he looked towards when you asked
him the first question.
If that person is not used to lying or if his values and beliefs make him
perceive lying as unacceptable, then when telling the lie he will negatively
evaluate what he is saying and will thus make one of the negative
evaluation gestures (touching nose or ears). Negative evaluation gestures
in body language are done when someone considers something to be
negative; he doesnt like the fact that he's lying. Note that this only
happens with people who consider lying to be a bad thing, and not with
everyone.
Eye contact weakens drastically when someone is lying; the person is not
going to look you in the eye, but will keep looking all over the place. If you
want to know everything about eye contact and body language then read

A lying person will hardly ever show his palms as showing your palms is a
sign of being honest and truthful; people who lie usually either put their
palms down or keep their hands inside their pockets. See the pictures
below illustrating the differences between someone who is lying and
someone who is telling the truth
A lying person's back is rarely up straight and the posture is hardly never
upright (unless he is proud of lying, see body language and straight back
for more information on this topic )
It's very important to know that there are many other variables involved in this
process. Thus, I suggest that you use these methods for decision support and
not for sole judgment of others. For example, if you suspect that someone is
lying, you should then start to see if any of these signs apply to them; of course
the more signs you find, the more likely that person is lying.

about you. With the release of version 5, I started to become afraid that people
might misuse the information in the book as it has reached a level where it
became a dangerous weapon.
This book is not about intuitive tricks or logical ideas that can be easily guessed
like "be nice to her", "buy her gifts", or "always be there for her" but is rather one
that is based on complex psychological principles simplified enough to be
understood by all. Most of the techniques in this book are backed by psychology
and scientific research. The techniques in the book are derived from love
psychology, friendship psychology, neuro-linguistic programming, subconscious
mind programming, behavioral psychology, body language, hypnosis, physiology,
marketing and scientific research.
My one and only aim behind writing this book is to help married couples to
restore love back to their relationships; nothing more. If your intentions are
finding a girlfriend or fooling someone into falling in love with you then this book
is not for you. This book is only for those serious about a long term relationship,
with marriage its main goal; other than that, I am not responsible for the problems
that might arise upon misusing this information.
The reason I have to write such a harsh disclaimer is because this is not an
ordinary book; its a weapon that can either be used in good or evil. If other
books, ones talking about how to make someone fall in love with you, are guns,
then this book is the nuclear bomb of them all!!
May God witness my intention behind writing this book, to cause no harm to
humanity.

Why the inferior advice you were told before never worked
Years ago I was just like you searching for a soloution to increase my self
confidence which was near zero. I started reading articles, joining online
programs and purchasing books that promised me confidence.
I thought that I would find something really helpful in these materials but instead I
found people telling me:
Say "I like myself" everyday out loud Not knowing that those people
were not aware of the fact that the subconscious mind refuses to accept
beliefs before solid proofs are provided. Your subconscious will respond to
this message saying, "really, why do you feel worthless then if you like
yourself?"
Others told me to accept myself: Not knowing that those people were
not aware of the fact that the subconscious mind cant accept something it
doesnt like unless it cant be changed. You can accept the death of a
close relative but even if you used all the known techniques in the world
you won't convince your subconscious mind to accept something you don't
like about yourself that can be changed
A third group asked me to repeat affirmations: Not knowing that saying
I am confident while i am not makes the subconscious mind believe that I
am fooling it and thus resulting in bad emotions. A recent research has
proven that people who repeat affirmations that are against their beliefs
about themselves feel down, guilty and less confident
A fourth group asked me to set goals and achieve them: Not knowing
that they are not aware of the fact that some people have made
tremendous achievements yet still feel inferior compared to others
