The APA journal search function for non-members turns up no articles by David J. It is my personal opinion that this book contains rather inaccurate work based on my readings about the subject by experts whose credentials I found more easy to scrutinise.Disclaimer: This review is an expression of opinion. This is only my opinion as one who has read other works on the subject.
I am a trial lawyer, so I was particularly interested in his sections on jury selection. I've tried to read this book twice. - Strategic Non-Invasive Analysis and Profile - is scientific, and used by the FBI, U.S. If they like it so much, surely the author could have gotten someone to say something nice. He claims to have a Ph.D., but does not specify from what institution, or even in what field. Military, and professionals and governments in more that 25 countries.
This book basicly consists of pseudo-academic jargon, that disguises its lack of substance. It has a great title, and the jacket blurb claims the author's technique called S.N.A.P. Alas, they are worthless. If there is any methodology or data to support the claim this is "scientific," the author doesn't identify it. Another clue I should have seen is that there is not one endorsement or quote from another author, or retired FBI agent or military man. I get the impression that the author self-published it.
It's in the same category as that dingbat who is on The O'Reilly Factor talking about body language.
This book provides much information about the signs of a liar. However, impressive as the methods may be, it is not easy to apply them and I am not sure whether all the information the author provide, is accurate. Let's try and see.
Unless you do more study, it can still be difficult to tell with exact precision whether or not someone is lying. The examples used are from romantic & working relationships, but many of the lessons can be applied throughout your daily interactions.
Basically, liars work to defend themselves. The innocent, on the other hand, have no reason to even begin a defense.
The author does an excellent job of teaching you how to tell if someone is lying. Full confessions are also a typical result of these tactics.
Furthermore, the book discusses ways you can find out the truth. These strategies are used in such a way that an indirect confession is nearly guaranteed.
It doesn't give you a sixth sense like I hoped. You'll second guess yourself but read it and review it from time to time and you'll get better.
This book is a must read. And all innocence is lost.
I've read a review or 2 of people who got nothing out of this book. This book is truly amazing.
The only downfall is that once you know how to read a person, you can't stop reading everyone. All I can say to that is, poor reading comprehension.
This book changed my life, and will certainly change yours. There comes some surprises when you can't help but read the body language of your spouses, long time friends, business associates and find how many people lie on a daily basis.
But you have to be prepared to be shocked.
