Summary

He says that's his best offer. Is it?

She says she agrees. Does she?

The interview went great - or did it?

He said he'd never do it again. But he did.

Listen to this book and send your nonverbal intelligence soaring. Joe Navarro, a former FBI counterintelligence officer and a recognized expert on nonverbal behavior, explains how to "speed-read" people: decode sentiments and behaviors, avoid hidden pitfalls, and look for deceptive behaviors. You'll also learn how your body language can influence what your boss, family, friends, and strangers think of you. You will discover:

  • The ancient survival instincts that drive body language
  • Why the face is the least likely place to gauge a person's true feelings
  • What thumbs, feet, and eyelids reveal about moods and motives
  • The most powerful behaviors that reveal our confidence and true sentiments
  • Simple nonverbals that instantly establish trust
  • Simple nonverbals that instantly communicate authority

Filled with examples from Navarro's professional experience, this definitive book offers a powerful new way to navigate your world.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Great story poorly told

This is a really good book and gives you a lot of insight into body language - you start noticing things that you wouldn't have previously - the story is very drawn out though and it is not helped by the narrator of the audiobook who speaks in a dull, monotonous tone. If you are able to get past that the book is well worth listening to.

A decent listen.

Some good information here, some of which I knew, and a lot of which I didn't.
It offers great techniques and tips as to what to look for when dealing with people throughout everyday life, as well as for professional reasons. The key thing I took from this book was to always trust your instincts, something I've always done anyway, because they're so deeply ingrained in our fabric for millions of years that they're probably more in tune with situations than your thinking brain will ever be.
Give it a shot if you like to read people and want some more useful tips.
My only hang up was the narration, while not bad, had a tendency to feel stunted, or disjointed throughout. Like as if it was recorded in loads of tiny parts and strung together, the start of one sentence from one read and the end of the sentence from a 2nd read, and then mashed together, there was a disjointed difference in tone mid sentence. Can be offputting.

A very interesting insight into our first language

A comprehensive study of body language couched within social context; bringing the subconscious to light.

Learn from the master

Truly excellent content, I just wish it was narrated by Joe too. He has a great voice. The narrator here was robot-esque. Like listening to a text to speech app. If you can get past that though, there is gold here.

Amazingly interesting and ultimately life changing

I have been enjoying a spate of non-fiction and decided to try this book. It is excellently written and very informative and has already made me look at myself and my posturing. Its amazing how much you give away with body language.

The best part of the book is the discussion on deception which blows a large hole in the premise of the TV show "Lie to me" which is utter nonesene as with most myths about falsehood and detection.

Highly recommeded.
