You read that I took a very quick interest in the book because from the very beginning(inside front cover) I had already connected with what was being said.

This book still gets two thumbs from me for several reasons. Although I honestly expected to learn about visual detection methods, I am very happy I was able to learn what I call the 'Verbal Response' detection method. This is what I would summarize this book as.

There is mention toward the very end of the book of eye movement. He mentions that if you are a right handed person, visual memories are accessed by the eyes going up and to the left. Left handed people, it's the reverse. When a right-handed person is deceiving you, his/her eyes go up and to the right and the opposite for a left-handed person.

That was pretty much the only mention of 'visual' detection techniques.

I purchased this book because the lie detection concept is very interesting to me. I also intend on utilizing it in my real estate as well. I spend a lot of time on the phone as you probably do also. I believe this book focusing on the 'Verbal Response' detection will greatly increase my abilities to know whether or not I'm getting myself into aggrevation or not.

Once you get this book, you WILL have to re-read it. There is a lot to absorb. I can't say that I absorbed all of it reading it for the first time so I know I will re-read it here very soon. I have other books in a pile to get to first. I think by coming back to this book once it's not so fresh, it will not feel redundant and I'll pick up on other things I missed the first time.

Although not directly related to real estate, I really believe it will highly benefit any investor. I can't tell you how many times in just the past week or so since I've got the book that I've been lied to. I know I have because things that are being referenced in the book are happening to me in real life. It concerns me a little that I'll now be picking up on things in my personal life but that will be something I have to work on. As for real estate, I'm excited to see it's progress for my benefits.

Tired of being manipulated and taken advantage of? Want to learn how to influence and motivate others, turn associates into friends, and win in any competition? Then consider reading Get Anyone to Do Anything and Never Feel Powerless Again by David J. Lieberman, bestselling author of Never Be Lied to Again and nationally recognized leader in the field of human behavior.

Based on psychological principles, this book is less about manipulation and more about observing and influencing people (including yourself) and learning how to take control of situations. Most of Lieberman's techniques are straightforward, user-friendly, and practical. You'll learn simple ways to make a fantastic first impression, get people to return your phone calls, and stop a rumor before it ruins you. You don't even have to read the text to benefit. To help you get the upper hand quickly, strategies are reviewed at the end of each chapter. While some suggestions are obvious (smile and make eye contact), the five sections and 40 chapters contain many gems that can help improve your life.

I never thought I'd say that about a psychologist. In fact the more I re-read it (the title I gave these comments) I'm shocked. I don't usually like them. My impression of them is that they listen to people who have no one to talk to and rape them for their cash (which I find reprehensible). BUT. TDavid J. Lieberman has done excellent research (my hats off). These are the things I loved about his book:

1. The purpose of the book is not to control and manipulate like the title suggests, but rather to illuminate.

2. It's packed with information (short 2-3 page chapters, summaries of the important points at the end: I.E. you can skip the verbage and go straight for the bullet points.)

3. It's obviously correct. Although years of testing and observation produced the conclusions in this book, common sense validates the results. And these aren't the kinds of things you could figure out without his book.

4. It could seriously fix a broken relationship or start a new one with nearly anyone.

Here's an example (I'd normally feel guilty giving examples, but the man has tons):

When you suspect someone of lying present them with a conundrum. The purpose is not to listen to the response but to observe the behavior. Specifically, if your husband tells you he went to the movies with friends. Mention Oh yeah, I heard that the reason for all of the traffic after work was because of the car accident near the movie theatre. Did you see it?" This creates a stun effect. Two conditions must be met. 1) Heavy Traffic 2) A car accident. If he really went to the movies the response would blurt out, but if he didn't he has to be careful with his answer and he hesitates.
