Harper Influence, August 2027
What if you could tell just by looking at someone that they were attracted to you? That they genuinely wanted to get to know you better? Or, if they’re someone you should absolutely stay away from? With THE HUMAN LIE DETECTOR’S TIPS FOR LOVE & DATING, you can do just that and more.
Meet viral expert Annie Särnblad, also known as The Human Lie detector, who cracks the code to dating in the modern age by teaching readers about the universal, non-verbal language of love: microexpressions. These biological, hardwired facial expressions subconsciously reveal our true emotions, whether we necessarily want them to or not. Every crinkle around the eye, slight curl of the lip is telling you something about the thoughts racing through someone’s head. You just might not be aware of it…yet.
In this comprehensive, groundbreaking book, Särnblad applies the science behind microexpressions to love and dating in her signature conversational, approachable style. Drawing on the colorful, sometimes hilarious dating stories from her own life, as well as those of her clients and students, Särnblad breaks down how to recognize the facial expressions and body language that indicate a loving partner, as well as those that indicate selfish, unkind, or even dangerous intent. From spotting narcissism to catching red flags early, you’ll gain the tools to prioritize personal safety and steer clear of toxic relationships.
Learn to recognize: Attraction, Pleasure, Vulnerability, Empathy
While at the same time detecting: Volatility, Anger, Disgust, Contempt
Alongside original research and real-life stories, Särnblad includes illustrations of these facial expressions throughout, as well as quizzes and observational checklists to guide you on you quest for lasting love.
Once you can read facial expressions, you’ll find that every face-to-face interaction provides feedback and is an opportunity to achieve deeper understanding and connection. And with THE HUMAN LIE DETECTOR’S TIPS FOR LOVE & DATING, you’ll be empowered with the tools to make the right choices in love and dating, becoming your very own human lie detector.
