Product Description
He says that's his best offer. Is it? She says she agrees. Does she? The interview went great—or did it? He said he'd never do it again. But he did. Read 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.

 Great Book November 19, 2008
This book was really useful. It really gives you insight into what people are really 'saying' with their body language. I'm going to read it again to make sur I get all the info presented in the book!
Great book, a must read for people wanting to understand the Reasons Behind our body language. November 12, 2008
Just finished the book this week, and I must say I am quite happy with my purchase! This is a great book that gives a very nice understanding of the limbic part of our brain (A part that reacts without conscious thought) and the reasons behind our body language to understand WHY the brain reacts with these certain resposes in our body language. One of the biggest troubles i'v had with body language is memerising what all the parts mean. But with this understanding of the Limbic brain I can now understand the WHY behind all the parts, and like other reviewers have said, this makes memorising SO MUCH easier as it changed the way I look at Body language.
For anyone really interested in body language, I would recommend you buy this book which will give you a great base understanding of the science behind our body language And then buy the "Definitive Book Of Body Language" Which in my view is like the "encyclopedia" of body language, These are the Must reads for Body language in my view. The combination of the two is really a knock out punch for a very good foundation in the understanding of Body Language.
 Read people better November 8, 2008
Without reading people's bodies, you're only hearing half of what they're saying. This book more than describes specifics, it describes themes, for example distancing and blocking. That allows the reader to interpret motions not covered explicitly in the book. The book is also very careful to explain that all body language needs to be viewed in context. Thus it is not so much motions one makes, but changes in motions, or motions that conflict with other motions or words, that indicate something to further study. Similarly the author points out that there is NO foolproof way to tell when someone is lying. Although it would appear that there are times when you can detect that someone is being honest, the absense of that does not mean one is being dishonest.
The biggest challenge is in developing the habit to actively observe others while engaged in conversation with them. I find I am usually focused on understanding what they are saying (verbally), integrating that with my knowledge/frame of reference, and figuring out what I'm going to say next.
Fascinating October 29, 2008
This book gives the reader a fascinating insight to reading body language. Joe Navarro obviously is a credible source and writes in an easily understandable manner. I highly recommend this book to anyone, whether you use body language in your job or just for general knowledge.
What are they saying? October 12, 2008

This fascinating book is a guide to the nonverbal communication people use in everyday situations. It comes from the FBIs analysis of nonverbal clues that telegraph untrustworthiness and deception. The author's goal is to help you understand and decipher body language in every day situations so that you can better understand people, whether they know it or not. A section of the book explores the brain and the limbic system, which is the source of involuntary signs that people demonstrate in response to their emotions. All in all a good look at a specific element of reading people.
If you're looking for a complete guide to reading and responding to other people, I absolutely loved a book called The Personality Code
