What if the key to discovering truth wasn’t force, pressure, or interrogation—
but empathy?

In The Gentle Inquisitor: Mastering the Art of Empathetic Interviewing, veteran investigator and nationally recognized polygraph expert Chip Morgan reveals a revolutionary approach to interviewing—one built not on confrontation, but on connection. After three decades working with suspects, victims, officers, executives, applicants, and everyday people in moments that matter, Morgan has learned one undeniable truth:

People open up when they feel understood, not attacked.

This book is your roadmap to transforming every interview—from high-stakes investigations to workplace conversations—into a powerful, honest, and humane exchange.

Inside This Book, You Will Discover:

• The silent language of human connection and how to recognize truth hiding between the words

• Why empathy outperforms pressure, even in the most difficult truth-seeking environments

• How silence—when used intentionally—reveals more than any question ever could

• Narrative-based techniques that uncover motivations, inconsistencies, and hidden details naturally

• Neutral questioning strategies that open psychological doors without pushing boundaries

• How to build trust without losing objectivity—the delicate balance every professional must master

• What really happens after the “official” interview ends, and how those moments shape outcomes

• The verbal cues that betray truth or deception when the body stays still

Drawing on thousands of real-world interviews and a lifetime of investigative experience, Morgan shows readers how to replace outdated, confrontational methods with techniques that respect dignity, reduce resistance, and yield deeper, more honest information.

Whether you’re a law enforcement officer, investigator, attorney, HR professional, supervisor, therapist, journalist, polygraph examiner, or anyone who interviews others, this book will fundamentally change how you communicate.

**Become the kind of interviewer people trust - and the kind who consistently uncovers the truth.**

The Gentle Inquisitor will elevate your professional interactions, strengthen your ability to connect, and unlock truths that force never could.
