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.

 Wish I had this book years ago August 17, 2008
Excellent book. Could be very helpful if you are in a situation where you need to know if the people you are dealing with are honest.
 HO-HUM Body Language! August 17, 2008

I am a 33 year police veteran. I have extensive background and use of body language. This book is Okay but not the best!
Excellent, easy to remember, well explained August 13, 2008

I loved how well the book explained the connections between body language and limbic system responses, linking most body language cues to a set of freeze, flight, or fight responses. By describing the psychological reasoning behind each of these responses, the information in the book was much easier for me to remember and more adaptable to real life situations because I could apply universal concepts rather than trying to memorize every single body language cue like a dictionary.
Excellent book.
Be More Aware of Messages you Send and Receive August 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book can not only help you to be more aware of when to probe further about whether what someone says is inconsistent with what they may be feeling, but it also can help you be more aware of the messages you may be sending by your gestures, posture, etc. One of the things I like most about this book is that the author sets the expectation that you won't be able to know the "truth" based only on body language but that awareness of body language will help you to understand when you should be paying attention to other details of your interaction with someone. Anyone who works with people, especially in a customer-facing role, would benefit from reading this book.

This book will definitely improve your performance if your job involves dealing with people. Gestures, expressions, posture and body language originate in the limbic system of your brain, responsible for emotions, and very hard to influence by the conscious brain. They are more accurate expression of thoughts and feelings; and learning to recognize those non-verbal cues is an essential requirement for reading people, which Mr. Navarro did as an FBI agent.
Obviously the best way to learn non-verbal body language is to work with a master like Mr. Navarro, which most people cannot. Next best would be a video. I have Paul Ekman's video CD on reading facial microexpressions and that is lot more useful.
Mr. Navarro really should have produced a video CD/DVD like that. This book has a lot of pictures of Mr. Navarro and his assistant demonstrating those facial expressions, gestures and postures, but they cannot demonstrate like a video, which is definitely worth more than thousand words describing the gestures. Therefore, I hope that Mr. Navarro comes out with a video version of this book.
The book is well written in simple easily understandable language with a fair number of pictures illustrating the body language that is being described.
