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, Sept. 14, 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 Jalapeno’s Mexican Restaurant, 314 North Second Avenue, Sandpoint, Idaho.
