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.

Excellent
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.

Sensible and well balanced.
Unlike some books on the subject, this author is very clear that there is no 'Pinnochio effect' which is to say you cannot see a gesture and declare someone is lying. What does happen is that we give off signals of stress or comfort, and reading these signals is very easy and rewarding if you are in a business meeting. His years of experience in the FBI and as a trainer are often included and fascinating in illustrating the book.

Great story poorly told
This is a really good book and gives you a lot of insight into body language - you start noticing things that you wouldn't have previously - the story is very drawn out though and it is not helped by the narrator of the audiobook who speaks in a dull, monotonous tone. If you are able to get past that the book is well worth listening to.

Listened Once - need to listen a few more times
Much along the lines of another reviewers comments, I'm sure the narration could have been tightened a little though, the writing style of the author is very much 'why use one word when you can use 10'.
That being said, I thought the content was very interesting and useful in both a business and personal context.
Will have to listen to it a few more times yet before I'll start using the tools and tricks in earnest.
Sat in a meeting today feeling myself doing some of the things mentioned herein, the things that I could or should have been gaining from their faces rather than portraying in mine. Nonetheless, shows that the content has stuck in mind and therefore value cleaned from the 7 or so hours this book took.

Very interesting
The things he says and the way he describes them are easy to understand and actually laughable when you notice for yourself or at someone else. I think this book is quite comprehensive to satisfy my interest at speed reading people for personal life and business.

Very interesting
A nicely laid out book with some really interesting points. Joe's years of experience really come through, especially as he freely admits even he can still get it wrong!
He's like a real Cal Lightman (Lie to Me) and gives some very useful tips to interpret body language.

Hideously Boring
Would you try another book written by Joe Navarro and Marvin Karlins or narrated by Paul Costanzo?
Sadly the "academic" co author has hijacked the main author (the FBI chap) and created what could have been an interesting and insightful book into a tedious and thoroughly boring audio. The academic should also remember you cannot refer to illustrations when you are listening to an audio book. 100% disappointed.
What could Joe Navarro and Marvin Karlins have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Sack the academic and just have the FBI chap tell it his way.
Would you be willing to try another one of Paul Costanzo’s performances?
No
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Totally pissed off.
Any additional comments?
If the real author (FBI chap) is reading this.....if I have "read" this right...you should have gone with your instincts and had faith in your own creation. Forget the academic with his high flying words....most people are bored by this and want a practical book.

Wonderful
This book is full of wisdom and insight. Joe Navarro doesn't simply provide his (expert) opinion but explains the mechanisms behind body movement and the types of movement which reveal hidden emotions. This is not another book on Body Language, this is a book about the interaction between the brain and the body and how to read body movement to gain insight into the concealed emotions of an individual. A fantastic listen.

Amazingly interesting and ultimately life changing
I have been enjoying a spate of non-fiction and decided to try this book. It is excellently written and very informative and has already made me look at myself and my posturing. Its amazing how much you give away with body language.
The best part of the book is the discussion on deception which blows a large hole in the premise of the TV show "Lie to me" which is utter nonesene as with most myths about falsehood and detection.
Highly recommeded.
