ICYMI: How To Spot A Liar And Why ‘Curing Cancer’ Is Misleading


ICYMI Health features what we’re reading this week.

This week, we learned how to spot the seemingly invisible. First, a QA with the author of a new book about emotional manipulation explored why so many people fall for con artists’ tricks. And a different essay detailed a unique police academy training, where prospective officers-to-be practice spotting intoxicated drivers by imbibing themselves.

Finally, we listened to a thoughtful radio interview with National Book Award winner Robin Coste Lewis about how a devastating brain injury wrecked havoc on her life — but improved her poetry.

Read on and tell us in the comments: What did you read, listen to and love this week?
