Yes. It's a good book that introduces the listener to basic body language and how to interpret what you observe. I liked how the author acknowledges that just because a person presents a certain observable doesn't necessarily mean that the person is being dishonest.

Great Book Joe

I thought this book was very insightful and helpful. no matter what industry you come from.

You will learn something

This book is good. You will learn something one way or another about reading body language

What a terrific book

For someone who has always been interested in analyzing people, this book was recommended to me. I was not disappointed and very glad they had the audio book. I tried reading the hard copy but I’m not a good reader. Not only was this audio informative and helpful, but the reader is very intriguing to listen to. What a wonderful audio book.

very awesome book!!!!!!!

I loved this book. It was one of the best and easiest to listen to.

Terrible narrator; Good book!

OMG the narrator talks like William Shatner. So distracting. Book itself is really good!

Get Past the Cheese

There are loads of super cheesy lines and the narrator makes them sound so much worse. Cringe! But Joe Navarro's books are always filled with valuable info so I'd definitely recommend it.

A bit monotone, but still worth a listen!

Where does What Every BODY Is Saying rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I don't have to drone about the reader's performance since there are an abundance of users who have done that already. He's not frustrating to listen to, but he's not engaging either.

The actual content of the book is well worth it though!

If you actualy pay attention to the book and comprehend what's being said, it will have an effect on how you watch people around you. I'm already one of those guys who natuarly que in on body language (or driving styles on the road) and can quickly estimate what kidn of person I'm looking at and how they'd react to outside influences. This book is great for explaining many of the smaller details that goes beyond the target's natural instincts and more into their current state of mind and intent. I can definitely see how this guy was successfull as an FBI interogator.

Check the book out to better understand what messages you're subconciously sending out and what others are saying without realizing it! Again, it will have an effect on how you watch and read the people around you!

Who was your favorite character and why?

This is instructional with a few stories, so there are no notable characters besides the author.

How could the performance have been better?

Be less instrutional in tone, and more expressive instead.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from What Every BODY Is Saying?

It has changed how I read people's intentions through their body language and posture.
