Is Paul Costanzo a robot or a person?

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I can't believe a person can sound so robotic that does this professionally. I had to speed it up just to tolerate his constant rhythm that was not appropriate for how the sentences were worded. Made this very difficult to get through.

What didn’t you like about Paul Costanzo’s performance?

Nothing.

Outstanding!

Would you listen to What Every BODY Is Saying again? Why?

What could be better than information from an ex-FBI officer who spent his time specializing in reading body language?

Don't bother with anything else on the subject of body language.

Enough said.

My new favorite book!!

This book is amazing. I was astounded by how much I learned about others and about myself. So many movements that I noticed in my now ex-husband but unfortunately didn't have the knowledge that I have now to read what they meant. If only I had listened to this book years ago!! I've also learned signals that I give of discomfort, so I can listen to myself better instead of reasoning "oh, but they are really a nice person" when around potentially hurtful people. This book will be a constant companion in helping me to navigate relationships with others and will be helpful in work situations as well. Simply excellent!!

verry good information

Would you consider the audio edition of What Every BODY Is Saying to be better than the print version?

this book was very good. He is dry and it takes a little bit to get into it but it is overall a good book and the information he shares is awesome and very relevant and worth the dryness.

amazing

I wish I knew this for a long time. best book out there. this helps a lot read micro expressions.

so so good!

What an amazing book this is just another one I can throw in my library of psychology training. Everything is crystal clear and for me nothing was too difficult to understand amazing.

phenomenal information to know

I will definitely listen to this one again as there are so many golden nuggets of information that I could not retain at all the first time around. well worth the listen

Diagrams & Pictures

It is better to get the physical book, it makes it easier to correctly interpret what the author is implying.

Informative

Most of what was covered in this book I already knew. But some info was new to me. Good to know how to consciously look out for these things when normally I just rely on intuition or gut feelings about people. Overall a worthwhile read.

Highly Informative

I learned a lot [under-statement] and laughed often as I thought of how true his trove of insights are. I have never been more educated by one book. This has changed my interpersonal perception forever. I now feel safer and situationally aware on my job. This book will enhance your insightfulness into the behaviours of others. If you want to further improve your communication skills, I also highly recommend "Never Split the Difference, by Chris Voss.
