Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 60% of people can't go can't go 10 minutes without lying. In 'How to tell a Lie', Ramie Tawers shows how society depends on people lying to each other. He then explains deception as a science, and provides several exercises throughout the book that will help the reader become more adept at deception. We never hear of successful liars because they don't get caught. It takes someone from within the industry of deception to write about it. Politics; Law; Pharmaceuticals; Journalism; Advertising; Business; Religion; Intelligence. These are just a few fields that hire professional liars to carry out their work. Through several case studies on US Presidents, Businessmen, Politicians and Criminals, Tawers illustrates the principles of deception at work in the real world. From how President Trump insures himself against the consequences of his lies to how a billion dollar company operated by selling a nonexistent product, the case studies in 'How to tell a lie' are truly eyeopening. Ramie provides his own experiences with compulsive as well as professional liars and discusses deception at a depth that has never been seen before. By reading this book you will learn to control your body language to fool investigators, manipulate context to deceive people without having to tell a single lie, learn to probe people for their weaknesses, plant false evidence, cover up events, successfully use false premises in arguments, employ deception on the internet and on other social platforms, and how to deal with the consequences of deception as well as other legal matters. Ramie has substantial experience dealing with liars and wishes to break the taboo surrounding the subject. This is a must read for anyone interested in psychology, sociology, or history, as deception is often the least discussed and most important factor in all human interactions.
Download or read book The Art of Deception written by Kevin D. Mitnick and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-08-04 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's most infamous hacker offers an insider's view of the low-tech threats to high-tech security Kevin Mitnick's exploits as a cyber-desperado and fugitive form one of the most exhaustive FBI manhunts in history and have spawned dozens of articles, books, films, and documentaries. Since his release from federal prison, in 1998, Mitnick has turned his life around and established himself as one of the most sought-after computer security experts worldwide. Now, in The Art of Deception, the world's most notorious hacker gives new meaning to the old adage, "It takes a thief to catch a thief." Focusing on the human factors involved with information security, Mitnick explains why all the firewalls and encryption protocols in the world will never be enough to stop a savvy grifter intent on rifling a corporate database or an irate employee determined to crash a system. With the help of many fascinating true stories of successful attacks on business and government, he illustrates just how susceptible even the most locked-down information systems are to a slick con artist impersonating an IRS agent. Narrating from the points of view of both the attacker and the victims, he explains why each attack was so successful and how it could have been prevented in an engaging and highly readable style reminiscent of a true-crime novel. And, perhaps most importantly, Mitnick offers advice for preventing these types of social engineering hacks through security protocols, training programs, and manuals that address the human element of security.

Download or read book Stepping Out of Self Deception written by Rodney Smith and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2010-07-13 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A prominent Insight Meditation teacher presents the Buddhist concept of “no-self” in an easy-to-understand way that will radically change your perspective on life Anatta is the Buddhist teaching on the nonexistence of a permanent, independent self. It’s a notoriously puzzling and elusive concept, usually leading to such questions as, “If I don’t have a self, who’s reading this sentence?” It’s not that there’s no self there, says Rodney Smith. It’s just that the self that is reading this sentence is a configuration of elements that at one time did not exist and which at some point in the future will disperse. Even in its present existence, it’s more a temporary arrangement of components rather than something solid. Anatta is a truth the Buddha considered to be absolutely essential to his teaching. Smith shows that understanding this truth can change the way you relate to the world, and that the perspective of selflessness is critically important for anyone involved in spiritual practice. Seeing it can be the key to getting past the idea that spirituality has something to do with self-improvement, and to accessing the joy of deep insight into reality.

The ideal child, the one her immigrant parents saw, was studying to become a pharmacist at the University of Toronto. But there was a dark, deceptive side to the angelic young woman. In reality, Jennifer spent her days in the arms of her high school sweetheart, Daniel. In an attempt to lead the life she dreamed of, she would do almost anything: lie about her whereabouts, forge school documents, and invent fake jobs and a fictitious apartment. For many years she led this double life. But when her father discovered her web of lies, his ultimatum was severe. And so, too, was her revenge: a plan that culminated in cold-blooded murder. And it almost worked, except for one bad shot. The story of Jennifer Pan is one of all-consuming love and devious betrayal that led to a cold-hearted plan hatched by a group of youths who thought they could pull off the perfect crime. 2017 Arthur Ellis Award, Best Nonfiction Book — Winner
Download or read book Deception in War written by Jon Latimer and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2003-04-29 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Trojan Horse to Gulf War subterfuge, this far-reaching military history examines the importance and ingenuity of wartime deception campaigns. The art of military deception is as old as the art of war. This fascinating account of the practice draws on conflicts from around the world and across millennia. The examples stretch from the very beginnings of recorded military history—Pharaoh Ramses II's campaign against the Hittites in 1294 B.C.—to modern times, when technology has placed a stunning array of devices into the arsenals of military commanders. Military historians often underestimate the importance of deception in warfare. This book is the first to fully describe its value. Jon Latimer demonstrates how simple tricks have been devastatingly effective. He also explores how technology has increased the range and subtlety of what is possible—including bogus radio traffic, virtual images, even false smells. Deception in War includes examples from land, sea, and air to show how great commanders have always had, as Winston Churchill put it, that indispensable “element of legerdemain, an original and sinister touch, which leaves the enemy puzzled as well as beaten.”

Download or read book Beautiful Deception written by Yasmeen Suri and published by . This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Error filled teachings reflect an artificial light that beckons to those that are wandering in darkness. According to Bible, the end times will be marked by widespread deception, counterfeit miracles, and the appearance of false prophets. Each of these evils will contribute to an atmosphere that will deceive an untold number of people throughout the world. Satan disguises himself as an "angel of light" and his ministers as ministers of righteousness (2 Corinthians 11:14-15). Jesus has warned us that the signs and wonders to come from these false "angels of light" will be so deceptive, that if we do not seek the truth then we will be deceived. Lies have many elements of truth in them. Unfortunately, there are many professing Christians today that rely on their own "feelings" as to whether something is of God. Experience should never validate truth, and to judge something on how it "feels" or "looks" rather than testing it against God's Word and sound doctrine is a road that will lead to ruin. This is the perfect "set-up" for the Antichrist. Yasmeen Suri was born in India believing in the new age gods of her culture and converted to Christianity years later. She is a licensed ordained minister and speaks and sings professionally across the world. Yasmeen has regularly appeared on the 700 Club, TBN, TCT, National and International radio, churches, and conventions and sharing the dangers of "spiritual deception." She regularly sings the U.S. " National Anthem" and "God Bless America" for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Department of Justice, U. S. Military, American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee, Access of Dearborn, Major Sports Teams, and Conventions.
