Good read..

Within a week of finishing this book, I filed for divorce, put my daughter in rehab, discovered my son was a transvestite hooker and got a GREAT deal on a new car!
Highly Recommend, Great book!!

Opens your eyes!

was a good listen. You'll know some of it already, but he puts into perspective.

Ready to put it to use.

This coupled Smugglers Inc and Decoding Alibis is gonna pay off big time once our jail opens back up. (thanks COVID) Great book and can’t wait to use all it has taught

Eye opener for sure.

I like the way it breaks the examples down in actual types on confrontation with people we have on a daily basis. It was all i needed to hear to really see that what i thought was untruthful behavior, is actually very likely to be untruthful as i had originally percieved. Really not a bad book and was worth listening to.

Great listen

I really love this book. For what I do in law enforcement this is a must read/listen. I think the audio book is better because the narrator reads the material in the way someone would talk. This gives you the ability to really hear the examples instead of reading them. I would suggest this book to all in LE or a parent.

The beginning was ok

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Yes. I would have an edition for law enforcement professionals and one for non-professionals that are interested in the subject. The second half of the book is geared toward law enforcement only and wasn't very interesting in terms of application.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Not sure.

Did Steve Carlson do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

I didn't care for his voice. To me he sounded "old" like someone's Grandpa telling a story and, for me, that took away from the content of the book.

Did Evading Honesty inspire you to do anything?

Check reviews more carefully before I click the "buy" button.

Any additional comments?

Like any book, whether or not you will enjoy it is always a crap shoot. This wasn't awful, but since I only got content out of half the book I was disappointed, but this book was inexpensive, so I can't complain much.

Meh

Very short. Not much new info that most tenured LEOs don't already know. Some of the methods of articulating observations suggestive of dishonesty were useful, but otherwise I was not impressed. If you have a free credit and are curious, it isn't a worthless investment. I wouldn't pay cash for it.

Awesome!!!

Awesome book! Any type of person can benefit from this system. “We’ll be leaving here together shortly!”

great read

it breaks down a very good way to read people's honesty. there is a reason that these concepts work well in police work.
