recommends it for: Partents or people who deal with liars

It's fascinating stuff. He's presents all sorts of incredible information. Sometimes he takes a little while to get to the point, but the information is totally fascinating.

There are quite a few jewels (mostly toward the beginning), but the poor structure and the including of three different authors destroy both consistency and conciseness.
