From Lie-Spotting to Truth-Seeking

Pamela Meyer gives a fascinating talk on TED about how to spot liars – but, even more importantly, how we can move from lie-spotting to truth seeking and ultimately to trust-building.

Our favourite quote from her talk? These words …

The subtleties of human decency – character, integrity – that’s still what matters. That’s always what’s going to matter. So in this much noiser world it might make sense for us to be just a little bit more explicit about our moral code. When you combine the science of recognising deception with the art of looking, listening; you exempt yourself from collaborating in a lie.
