0:00.0	Everyone lies. And so it's really important to understand what motivates someone to lie.
0:13.2	If you want to get to the truth, you have to understand their motivation.
0:16.2	The way I break it up is there are high stakes lies and low stakes lies.
0:19.5	What do they look for to see if somebody's really lying?
0:22.0	So that's a really good question.
0:23.5	Okay, you were dismissing the Pamela Meyer. She is one of the foremost experts in deception detection.
0:32.0	Liesbiting. In fact, she wrote the book Liesbiting. You may have heard her.
