Most of us ignore our natural ability to spot fake people because we’ve been taught to override gut instincts. Chapter 14 reveals how trusting your intuition actually works.
The story
Ever notice how some people just seem to know when someone’s being fake? Like they have this built-in radar for BS?
Here’s what I discovered while writing Chapter 14 of my book – most of us are walking around with our truth detection abilities completely shut off. We’re so busy trying to be polite or avoid conflict that we ignore those gut feelings screaming “something’s off here.”
The problem isn’t that we can’t detect deception. It’s that we’ve been taught to override our natural instincts.
Think about it. When someone’s words don’t match their body language, you feel it. When their story has holes, something in your brain flags it. But then we talk ourselves out of it because we don’t want to seem suspicious or judgmental.
I call this “empathy interference” – where our desire to be understanding actually makes us less perceptive.
In Chapter 14, I break down how cognitive empathy – really tuning into what someone’s experiencing – naturally reveals inconsistencies. When you’re genuinely curious about someone’s feelings and motivations, the gaps between their words and reality become obvious.
This isn’t about becoming cynical or playing detective. It’s about trusting your built-in human software that evolved over millions of years to keep you safe and help you connect authentically.
Your intuition is already there. You just need to stop overriding it.
