Banned Body Language Secrets
- Ex CIA Agent Reveals How to Read Anyone Like a Book and Master the Art of Non-Verbal Communication
- Narrated by: Jim D. Johnston
- Length: 3 hrs and 14 mins

Summary
Do you struggle to get your point across to people? Do you ever feel like you are somehow weak and ineffectual in the way you communicate? Perhaps others just don't take you seriously. There is no easy fix for all of your problems. However, whatever those problems are, if social interaction is involved then a firm grip on the tenets of nonverbal communication can make it better. Your mother wasn't just blowing hot air when she told you to stand up straight. Mom knows: There is wisdom in those words, for the way we carry ourselves says a great deal about our character, our self-respect, and who we are.
No one knows more about body language than CIA agents, and it just so happens that we've got access to one who is willing to spill all the secrets about how to read nonverbal cues and body language. While he will remain nameless, of course, you will get an unfettered look at the mind of someone who not only listens to what people say but watches intensely what they do to detect signs of graft, deceit, and danger.
In this book we will look at how relationships, work, and personal safety can all be vastly improved by diving into the body language "rabbit hole". You won't imagine how deep it really goes, and utilizing these age-old tricks will have you at the center of attention or flying low under the radar, depending on how you choose to use them. So keep your chin up and your backbone straight as we delve into the often unnoticed world of how humans really communicate.

very little information. just a story
It's a story rather than a educational book. Not really worth a toffee.i think the title is miss leading.

Rambling
What would have made Banned Body Language Secrets better?
While the opening of the book is most attractive: learn to read people like a CIA agent, the rest was utter disappointment. It was nothing but a long rambling over a connection of advice that could have been found in any teen age do and don't do advice column.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Never managed to pass chapter 4

Not worth the time
Am not a fan. Didn't deliver anything that is not plain common sense. What made it worse was the sound of the narrator. They did not have his mike dialed in correctly and had constant high squeal on many syllables. It was all I could do to get thru the entire book
