With the recent discovery of the Goldman Sachs fraud, it makes me wonder where on earth does the truth lie? And how can we become more skilled and savvy when determining whether or not the person across from us is telling us a truth or a lie? The show Lie to Me is loosely based on Dr. Ekman’s work where he revels that there are common facial gestures and expressions that are universal across human cultures and thus biological in origin. Universal expressions include those indicating contempt, fear, joy, anger, disgust, surprise and sadness. These indicators can allow us to hone our awareness and develop our internal lie detector test. Isn’t it empowering to know that we can increase our ability in studying the micro-expressions of others and determining the truth?
