It’s great to learn about observing the behaviors and apply to real world situations

The book is so useful when you are reading people’s behavior. This can be used for people who has disabilities or have some specific personalities. The only issue is that the speaker (audiobook) skips some parts from the book so my suggestion is to pause and read whatever is being skipped then you can continue wherever you left off.

Corto pero preciso

El libro se hace entender en pocos parrafos por lo tanto es conciso en el mensaje que quiere enviar

good book with a great topic could have dive deeper.

the book goes back and forth between giving ideas for how people can reveal their emotions different ways but doesn't always answer the question as to what they're showing you.

Wasn't Great, Wasn't Horrible

The book gave solid info, if not in the most interesting of ways. I fast forwarded thru quite a few sections, as they seemed a bit redundant. And I don't know if I'm losing my mind, but I feel like in the first part of the book, the narrator sounds almost robotic. It then changes to a narrator that sounds a bit less robotic, so that's an improvement, I guess? Was not a waste of time to listen to, and I'm not mad that I spent one of my credits on it.

Need my 3 hours back

The title of this book is very inviting but it doesn’t deliver. I really wish I could get my one credit back.

Work on your own persona

you will learn how to read people better, work on your own image, the book talks a lot about first impressions, and even the way you speak. I find the narrator a bit dull, I got bored while listening, but the information presented was good.
