Diary of a Human Lie Detector: Annie Särnblad in Conversation with Sunny Hostin

Oct 11, 2023


Join world-renowned facial recognition expert Annie Särnblad on uncovering the secrets and lies behind our most fleeting facial expressions — and her new book, Diary of a Human Lie Detector: Facial Expressions in Love, Lust and Lies — with 3x Emmy Award-winning co-host of ABC’s The View and New York Times bestselling author, Sunny Hostin.

There are over 10,000 muscle combinations in human facial expression — Annie Särnblad can numerically code all of them. But in her new book, in strikingly personal stories about love, global intrigue, and everything in between, she teaches how anyone can learn to read the emotions and intentions of the people around us. Hear her and Hostin discuss the easy-to-learn techniques for deciphering a furrowed brow or tile of the neck, what the human face can teach us about the line between truth and lies, stories from her long career in the fascinating field of facial recognition, and more.
