Summary

Ever wonder when someone is lying to you? In this episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, I talk with Annie Särnblad, known as the "Human Lie Detector," as she reveals how micro-expressions expose our true emotions. We dive into the science of facial expressions and how they're biologically hardwired. We also discuss tips for navigating dating and business negotiations and why your intuition about someone's true intentions is often based on fleeting facial movements. Annie Särnblad is a world-renowned expert in reading facial expressions and a strategic advisor who has taught her skills to over 5,000 CEOs and business leaders globally. Certified in the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), she can identify and interpret the 10,000 different muscle combinations that create human facial expressions. She is the author of three books, including "Diary of a Human Lie Detector: Facial Expressions in Love, Lust, and Lies."
