Summary

Jameela is joined by author & anthropologist Annie Särnblad - known as the human lie detector - who has built her career starting in anthropology and corporate strategy to being Facial Action Coding System (FACS) certified, meaning she can decode 10,000 muscle combinations in human expression. Annie and Jameela talk about top micro expressions to spot in in the workplace and with family (and even in the dating scene), how we can adjust our own behavior and improve the outcome of a conversation or negotiation, and how to look for subtle ‘leakages’ of emotion for spotting gaslighting and navigating the complex world of human interaction. You can find more about Annie via her IG @annie.sarnblad and her website anniesarnblad.com Diary of a Human Lie Detector: Facial Expressions in Love, Lust, and Lies The Facial Expressions Glossary: Business Version

0:00.0	Hello and I'm welcome to IWay with Jimila Jamil podcast against shame.
0:03.7	I'm going to make this brief because I like everyone else have had a chest infection for what feels like
0:07.9	about 400,000 years and it's just making my voice too sexy as you can hear and I just don't think that's fair for
0:14.0	other podcasters out there so you know I love to be fair. Okay my guess this
0:18.8	week is Annie Samblad and she is known as the human lie detector, which I think is one of the coolest
0:25.8	and most interesting and scary job titles I've ever heard of. She has spent her

0:35.2	I'm talking about the ones that happen within 1 25th of a second.
0:39.1	She can spot all of them and know if someone is bullshitting her. She can read so much about every
0:45.6	emotion someone's having just by the tiny little expressions in their face, the
0:50.0	tiny curls of their lip or the tiny smile that they may have.

1:20.3	figure out the integrity of the person they're going into business with and she also
1:24.0	helped people when it comes to deciphering in love and relationships. She has a new book out, it's
1:29.5	called Diary of a Human Lie detector, facial expressions in love, lust and lies. It was recently
1:35.1	released and people are loving this book. I am loving this book. It is
