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:

  1. The ancient survival instincts that drive body language　
  2. Why the face is the least likely place to gauge a person's true feelings　
  3. What thumbs, feet, and eyelids reveal about moods and motives　
  4. The most powerful behaviors that reveal our confidence and true sentiments　
  5. Simple nonverbals that instantly establish trust　
  6. 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. Listen this book and send your nonverbal intelligence soaring.

I thought this might struggle as an audio book but it does work. There is a lot about the reasons behind body language which enabled the author to clump body language in to bite sized chunks to make it digestable.

Excellent

Unless you are a little slow and need to be told things several times supported by obvious and cliched anecdotes then just read the accompanying .pdf and forget the audio.

I bought this for poker tells and most of the behaviours I could already recognise. A few little gems around pacifying behaviours but not worth the hours invested in listening to all of it.

Generally disappointing but with a few insights

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 decent listen.

Step-by-step illustrations of body language examples are interesting, informative and practical.
Generalisations like Open and Closed Body Language make the lessons easy to absorb.
A thoroughly easy to listen or read book with widespread applications.

WONDERFULLY PRACTICAL
