How to catch a liar explored at Lifetree Café

Practical ways to tell if someone is telling you the truth will be explored at Lifetree Café on Monday, April 15, at 2 p.m.

The program, titled “How to Spot a Liar: Secrets From a Former FBI Agent,” features an exclusive filmed interview with FBI counterintelligence officer John Schafer.

As a behavioral analyst for the FBI’s National Security Division, Schafer developed deception-detection techniques that are now widely used by intelligence and law enforcement agencies. In his interview, Schafer shares key indicators that signal when someone is lying.

“There are certain signs — verbal and nonverbal — that indicate lying,” says Schafer. “If you lie to me, I’ll catch you.”

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café meets at Jalapenos, 314 N. Second Ave., Sandpoint.
