In Telling Lies: Clues to Deceit in the Marketplace, Politics, and Marriage, Paul Ekman presents evidence that at least the core facial expressions are not only innate but involuntary.
This would refer to (IIRC) happy smiling, disgust, fear, and sadness. There are certain muscle groups in the face that are very difficult to move without using, for example, Method to feel the emotion they represent. Getting your eyes to smile properly without feeling happy is very, very difficult.
There are a few titles I really love. I hope you like a few things on the list, if you have any questions let me know.
Try anything written by Paul Eckman. He's one of today's leading experts in these sorts of things, and he pioneered the discovery and research on "microexpressions", which are facial expressions that last 1/25th to 1/15th of a second and are key to deciphering many strong human emotions. I've read both this book and this book that he's written on the subject and found them fascinating.
I didn't mean you specifically, just speaking generally. Sorry if that's how I came across. I just worry sometimes that the laity may come across something like this and jump to conclusions.
Yeah, Telling Lies is a book. Quick read, but very informative and he goes into detail about his numerous studies. Definitely recommend.
This one. It's not like a novel or anything, but it'll still be pleasure reading lol. I'm very interested in Ekman's work. And then I watched the show based on his work and I liked that too lol. I'm obsessive. I go through and find someone I like and then I have to read all of their stuff. I have a ton of Robin Dunbar's stuff I want to read too lol.
Do you read nonfiction? If not I had a nice time reading Telling Lies by Paul Ekman. It basically goes into how/why people lie, how you can tell lies from the truth, and the overall implications/prevalence of deceit.
It's a rather interesting read if you're skeptical about anything really.
There are a few books I found useful for understanding body language, You say more than you think and The definitive book of body language.
For Liespotting I would recommend looking in to Paul Ekman's books. I haven't read any of his books but I have heard his named mentioned, and he is well known in the field.
Also I would suggest googling "detecting deception."
oh and maybe check out /r/bodylanguage
Check out the books Emotions Revealed and Telling lies by Dr. Paul Eckman who is an expert in facial expession analysis (main character in the show Lie To Me was loosely based on him). The first book goes into detail about how facial expressions are hardcoded and intrinsically linked to our emotions. It turns out that facial expressions linked to the basic emotions (happy, sad, fear, surprise, anger, contempt and disgust) are universal and by studying the facial expressions connected to these emotions, you can become better at reading people. Also in many cases when people are hiding their emotions they display subconscious cues of how they are actually feeling and sometimes micro expressions. Reading this book and studying it really helped my ability to read people.
The second book is a more thorough study of how lying works on a biological basis and lie detection works, but also discusses why it's really really diffict to do accurately (also describes why polygraph tests are bullshit). Both are great books and definitely worth a read.
