About this listen

Speed-read people, decipher body language, detect lies, and understand human nature.

Is it possible to analyze people without them saying a word? Yes, it is. Learn how to become a “mind reader” and forge deep connections.

How to get inside people’s heads without them knowing.

Read People like a Book isn’t a normal book on body language or facial expressions. Yes, it includes all of those things, as well as new techniques on how to truly detect lies in your everyday life, but this book is more about understanding human psychology and nature.

We are who we are because of our experiences and pasts, and this guides our habits and behaviors more than anything else. Parts of this book are like the most interesting and applicable psychology textbook you’ve ever used. Take a look inside yourself and others!

Understand the subtle signals that you are sending out and increase your emotional intelligence.

Patrick King is an internationally best-selling author and social skills coach. His writing draws of a variety of sources, from scientific research, academic experience, coaching, and real life experience.

Learn the keys to influencing and persuading others.

  • What people’s limbs can tell us about their emotions
  • Why lie detecting isn’t so reliable when ignoring context
  • Diagnosing personality as a means to understanding motivation
  • Deducing the most with the least amount of information
  • Exactly the kinds of eye contact to use and avoid

Find shortcuts to connect quickly and deeply with strangers.

The art of reading and analyzing people is truly the art of understanding human nature. Consider it like a cheat code that will allow you to see through people’s actions and words.

Decode people’s thoughts and intentions, and you can go in any direction you want with them.

I love this book, I love how mostly it taught how valuable questions you can ask people, including yourself can give you answers which can reveal all of or somewhat a good amount of information into who a person is, what they stand for and a view into their values. Great book, a lot of information to take it, I listened twice and still feel like their is bits I will not retain but a solid foundation has been achieved and I have gained way more insight and knowledge now and it has already given me the ability to look at situations, people, my surroundings etc, in a different light, a more positive light, this book promotes a lot of good, a lot of awareness, a broader mind, i loved it 🔥

valuable questions.

The book is simply a regurgitation of others work with a narration that’s painfully dull.

Whilst the work referenced is valid and interesting the author offers no original thought or independent theory leaving this book as little more than a summary of others work.

Summary piece with dull narration

It was easy to listen and follow and I will definitely listen it again. Definitely can recommend!

Narrativ

I learnt a few new things about human behaviour, but felt that some of the advice was quite generic.

Somewhat generic advice

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Pretty hard for me to find something that wasn’t relative for me. Me personally heard this as a supplementary read to my nursing education, still found new perspectives on active listening and how to use your intuition. Narrator could be a bit better

Well done all the way through
