TITLE - Pamela Meyer: How to spot a liar First, I like the Ted and i watch it all the time, they have great ideas and i encourage everyone to watch. Liaying is part of culture because since we were young, we learn how to liar, and grew up in the society which is full of liars.In a society with so much information we need to be explicit about ourselves by not cooperating with liars. The many different forms of spotting a liar, some are very straightforward, but others unless you are a trained liar spotter, you cannot identify. Extravagant liar more that introvert (Interest), being introvert makes me feel better. In business and in life we need to learn to be honest and truthful to ourselves and those around us at work, home, and on the internet.

Lying is a part of our culture that is inevitable and we do it most ourselves. The transition from lie spotting to truth seeking is important to be able to look for the best in people and also keep yourself protected. The ability to spot lies is dangerous and can be alarming when you start looking at all the signs of someone lying to you. Focusing on head shakes and different mannerisms can keep you even more confused than sometimes you want to be. Focusing on being truthful yourself is so important, sometimes embellishing and a small lie can seem okay at first but then catch up to when it is the worst time.

TITLE - Pamela Meyer: How to spot a liar She has a great point that everybody lies. I know my girlfriend lies to me everyday. But if you can pick out her strategies to spot people that are lying, this is very important. Lying can only be tolerated for so long, she said that people dont even want to confront her because they feel that they will be caught in there lie with her. I would be scared to lie to her in person.

I think that the thing that caught my attention most was that she admits that everyone lies. Even the people you think would never lie to you may tell a white lie every now and then. However, it's much different in business and when money is involved. No one likes being lied to, and being able to spot a liar and tell when someone isn't being truthful to you is key.

This video talked about lying and how to notice when you are being lied to. People are naturally deceitful, it is important to remember this to so that you don't let yourself get down. If you focus too much on lying you're going to find yourself in a slump. I think this is a good video because i think it's important to be aware of when you're being lied to and not oblivious, however, I also think it's important to focus more on yourself. Focusing on being truthful yourself will, over time, attract honest people into your life.

Pamela Meyer: How to spot a liar
I feel this was a good video for the business world and the every day life. It is good to know when someone is truly being genuinely honest from someone who is not. When Pamela mentions that lying is a cooperative act, she couldn't be more true; it takes two. With that being said, there is basically an agreement to believe the lie. I think it's good to know the body language associated with a lie during business deals or interviews because it could jeopardize the company if taken lightly.

Pamela Meyer said everyone is a liar. She said lies can be either good or bad and managing lies is the key. The statistics she gives on this video is crazy but seems true. At the end, no one like to be lied too but just be prepared that everything you hear is not true.

We are all liars. if someone lies to you, you allow that person to lie to you. Strangers like 3 times with in the first 10 min. people are agents lying but always do it. the more intelligent you are the more likely you are to lie. As you get older you are much better at lying.

Pamela Meyer: How to spot a liar
I'm not sure I agree with what Pamela Meyer is saying in this video. Her statistics seem extremely high. Maybe I have too much faith in people. I do like her ideas on how to spot a liar. I really like how this video shows examples. The head shaking in the opposite direction as what you are trying to convey is very interesting. I hope I am able to take away some of her ideas and use them in business and everyday life.

Pamela Meyer: How to spot a liar
I found this video very enlightening, in fact, I have added to my 'watch later' list on Youtube. Meyer did a great job pointing out the biopsychosocial reason we have evolved to lie and how to spot a liar. I think her statistics are probably pretty dead on; I think people lie all the time, even white lies are still lies. Every time a women asks her husband 'Do I look fat in this?', do you really think she wants the truthful answer? No, probably not! We are raised to tell lies to cover things up, to save face, and to make people feel better.
I work with students at a university, and from time to time, I catch them (or their parents) in a lie. I have used some to Meyer's tips involving speech and body language to catch these people in their lies. I also advise a group on campus, and I need to be able to trust my members and know when they are being dishonest. The bottom line is in an organization trust and honesty are what make the organization and its members work well. I try to be as honest as possible at work and in my personal life. I feel honesty is the best policy no matter the situation.

I think this video was spot on. It's no secret that everyone lies at some point and time in their lives. I pride myself on trying to be honest as much as possible. Sometimes I'm too honest and I can be brutally honest. I've hurt several feelings in the process and I feel bad. In my current line of work, I find it hard to balance being honest and telling a white lie. I work with the elderly who are suffering from mental disorders or diseases that affect the brain and trying to get them to cooperate with you to help them, you have to lie some of the time. For example, they'll ask "Where's mom?" In situations where the client is in his or her 90's, more than likely mom or dad has past away. So, to deter the situation you have to get their mind off it. Honesty is the best policy unless, it could ruin lives that can't be repaired. In my future career, I hope to have policy where honesty is welcomed and used as a way to encourage turnover.

Pamela Meyer: How to spot a liar
Pamela, recognizes that everyone is liar. It is important to recognize liar, but also to be able to recognize the people that are saying the truth. Like the video stated, you are more likely to trust a person, than a man coming in with a big machine to do a lie test. Pamela also points out that we tend to lie more to coworkers than strangers, and also extroverts lie more than introverts, these are interest points to know. Lying is never going to away from our culture, and I think it is important that we are able to recognize it. This video makes me want to learn more about how to spot lies, so in the future when I have my own business I can be better prepared.
