Incredibly useful

Would you consider the audio edition of Louder Than Words to be better than the print version?

Not necessarily. But it's definitely way more convenient for me since I am able to listen to it when spending hours driving. I mean, I tried reading and driving at the same time...doesn't seem to work for some reason.

What did you like best about this story?

The concepts he teaches, especially the body language signs he teaches you all about are amazingly useful. I see these things in my every day life and it has been an immense eye-opener into the feelings of others around me, and these concepts have given me such a power to influence others and be effective in human interaction. As something that is accessible to anyone to use, it is unmatched in its usefulness and influence.

Which scene was your favorite?

Chapter 4 and Chapter 9

What did you learn from Louder Than Words that you would use in your daily life?

Tons of things in the non-verbal world, which means that I use it every moment of my life; and this does not only include body language, but other non-verbals as well. Though I absolutely favor the body language aspect

Any additional comments?

Joe Navarro is a non-verbal genius. If you want to be more effective and influential in every interaction you are involved in among other people, read this book.

Read this if you're an average worker

If you've read the author's other book "What Every BODY Is Saying," you'll find some repetition in the beginning of this book. This book is exactly what its title purport it to be - take your career from average to exceptional. Many of the observations that the author makes about businesses and individuals are obvious, like customers get upset when there's only one cashier to handle a long line and when another worker is called, the worker strolls to his station. Managers should be training their workers to be more responsive to customers if they want to keep their business. I think this book is still worth reading. Even if there is only a few good suggestions that you would apply, practicing some good work habits would improve your performance.

My first audible with absolutely no regrets!

I would've liked to have had access to the figures of the "enhanced" version. They keep refering the listener to them as you read but couldn't find them anywhere so i asumed they don't come with the book? Yet it was a wonderful and enriching lecture!

What Every Business Needs to Know

I'm not a business owner, nor in any leadership to affect change to my surroundings, which this book is highly dynamic for, but I can tell you now why I prefer to go to Denny's over the "nicer" place just kiddy-corner - the comfort of friendliness and personable interaction wins out. I do highly recommend What Every BODY is Saying.

A great listen!!!!!!

The content was great and essential to learn when learning to interact with people. I believe it could also be an asset for sales people!

Ironic

If this book is suppose to be a satire then, Bravo.

However as an iPhone listener, and not having access to the "advanced audio" while driving, all of the 40+ figures he refers to are points of contention. Every single time.

Also, the author while knowledgeable comes across as a Grade A dick. His treatment of those in customer service, as told by him, as well as all his other anecdotes of how awesome he is, leaves you with a disdain and contempt for him.

While he admits to being humbled at one point in his career it still comes across like he's bragging about his humbleness.

My advice there's plenty of other material out there on non verbal communication, body language, and business don't waste your time listening to this blowhard.
