How People Do It, Why They Fail

Everyone lies. You do it. Your friends do it. Your leaders do it. But here is the real question—why do so many lies fail? In *Telling Lies*, Paul Ekman reveals the hidden science behind deception, exposing the cracks that betray even the most skilled liars. From fleeting microexpressions to voice patterns and body language, deception leaks in ways you never notice—until now. Watch this episode next: Journey Out of the Illusion [Part 1] [https://open.spotify.com/episode/2ywgX1oE2qEuFP5W2SHBWw] This deep dive unpacks the psychology of lying, the mistakes liars make, and the art of catching deception in real time. Why do con artists get away with it while innocent people look guilty? Can you actually train yourself to spot a lie? And what about the lies you tell yourself—are they the hardest ones to uncover? Get ready to rethink everything you believe about honesty, manipulation, and the slippery nature of truth. #Deception #Lies #Truth #Psychology #PaulEkman Become a member of this channel to enjoy benefits: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh6gJYYFDueIzAk_Jn6SmZw/join Learn more about your ad choices.
