How To Spot A Liar
Do you know when someone is lying to you? How can you spot a liar? How can you know the truth? During the most recent 2016 U.S. Presidential Election debates with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, psychologists saw a high rise in anxiety, and they explained that audiences experienced significantly heightened emotional distress within the process of discerning the facts versus lies. People were significantly stressed by the debate experience that the American Psychological Association created specific election coping tips. In this episode, scientist and talk show host Olympia LePoint will explain the ways to spot a liar, the brain phenomenon witnessed in people withholding the truth, how to discern between the truth and falsehood, and the ways honest people can protect themselves from these toxic relationships, so a person can obtain a winning life.
