Professor Robert Feldman tells Eve Ash that we can’t necessarily tell from what’s said or done that a person is a liar.
It is very hard to predict who is a liar. Professor Robert Feldman tells Eve Ash there is no particular profile or personality traits, nor can we necessarily tell from non-verbal behaviors if a person is lying.

Our lives are actually filled with lies of many kinds.
