Êtes-vous sûr que l'on vous dit la vérité ? Imaginez que vous ayez le pouvoir de déchiffrer toute personne que vous regardez et de lire en elle comme dans un livre ouvert, que ce soient votre ami, votre collègue, votre patron ou la personne que vous voulez conquérir. Grâce à ce livre, vous découvrirez exactement les mêmes techniques utilisées par le FBI durant les interrogatoires pour analyser toute personne, lire dans ses pensées et voir si elle ment ou non. Seuls 0,01 % des gens savent exactement comment déchiffrer le langage corporel secret, celui qui ne ment jamais, même si l'on cache des secrets. Vous pourrez comprendre en un coup d'œil ce que pense votre interlocuteur, simplement en regardant l'expression de son visage ou la façon dont il prononce certains mots.

Selon un scénario classique, décider, c’est se renseigner, concevoir, choisir et agir. Au moment où le développement durable est invoqué partout mais n’est jamais défini, il est urgent d’en proposer une grille de lecture. François Mancebo en fait une analyse critique en restituant sa popularité mais aussi en dégageant ses ambiguïtés. L’ouvrage présente des données, des expertises, des analyses d’enjeux et de conflits. Il éclaire ainsi l’action collective en matière de développement durable. Sa vocation est de former à ces problématiques, non seulement les étudiants, mais encore les acteurs de l’aménagement et de l’urbanisme. Plus largement, enfin, il s’adresse aussi à tous ceux qui sont confrontés à ces questions dans leur vie quotidienne.
