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.

I have found this book fascinating and insightful.

I have listened to this book 3-4 times over a period of a couple of years to re-remember the different body language tells of people I am dealing with. When I really spend the effort to focus on their body language it can be very revealing.
If nothing else it makes people watching when you in public far more interesting.
It is well worth listening to.

Very interesting!

This was really fun to listen to! Now I watch people interacting with each other or when they're talking to me to see what signs they are telling me BUT I would definitely need to listen to this again to absorb more of the information.
I unfortunately didn't really like the narration. Great voice but sounded too robotic to me. It luckily sorry of suits the book but it was annoying.
I would recommend this book!

Good for starters

Since i had experience in some of this it wasn't 100% useful to me. That being said it still had some eye openers and point that helped me click. So beginners will be able to learn a lot supposedly and that in a logical and understanding manner. Enjoy!

Better As a Tangible Book

I enjoyed the insights provided in the book however, I struggled to finish it. This was for several reasons and because of the many references to the pdf which showed figures displaying the non-verbal behaviours the narrator was describing. I believe it would have been best for me to get the book in paper form because it was a little difficult to listen to when multitasking. I still appreciate the knowledge I've gained from it though :)
