Timothy R. Levine

The book was something that was referred to in a few other books that I read and I was really interested in understanding and learning about the topic, but in the 13 chapters that I read, there was no explanation about what, how and why people are bad at catching lies and what can be done to become better.

This is more of a book on how to create and conduct a better research and how to use statistics better to analyse the results. All 13 chapters (I gave up reading the book after that) spoke show more about the studies that were done and how the research was designed, conducted and analysed. It seemed more like a textbook than a book.

I would prefer to wait for the author to come up with another edition where he just talks about the theory and its implications on individuals and society and how (if possible) to be better at detecting deception.

If you just want to know about TDT, I would suggest reading a summary on Wikipedia. show less
