You Can Read Anyone: Never Be Fooled, Lied to, or Taken Advantage of Again

Seriously a waste of time and money. Either it is poor editing or poor writing. He gives short stories to illustrate his methods, but they are irrelevant to most people. For example, he describes tricks used while interrogating a crime suspect. How many readers are going to bring someone to a room with those see through mirrors to judge their honesty? His other techniques are no more applicable than knowing how to fly in order to steer a shopping cart. This simply has a great title, probably made him a ton of money.

The information in the book is wonderful, yet it was difficult to enjoy due to the narrator.
It was read with little expression, and too rapidly. It was almost as if the narrator wanted to show how fast he could read, I had to continuously rewind to get the jest of the material.

I'm sure the content of this book was very interesting but I couldn't get over the rushed, amateur reading to actually absorb it. It is like they picked a mechanic from Queens to read it; he was always so good at reading the engine manuals aloud to the other guys in the shop.

I would go buy the book but I think the voice is lodged in my brain forever.

Inept narration makes the material difficult to understand. He pauses mid-sentence, probably at the end of printed lines. He often doesn't pause at the end of a sentence or at a comma.

I would have thought that the author would know how to read his own material with appropriate expression and phrasing, but no, it was disappointing.

I thought that the audio book had some very interesting case studies, and some facinating facts, but it seemed like the book was too rushed and that the points felt they needed more time to fully explain the message.

When you finish the book you can't completely read everyone and avoid being taken advantage of or lied to, but your in a much better position after reading the book. Unless something is glaringly wrong with a person, I pretty much accept whatever people are telling me. This is why I don't buy a car by myself or sign contracts that could do harm. After reading this book you may pay more attention and mentally ask a few more questions unthought of before. If you need to figure out if your being lied to you will have some idea of what to look for and what to ask. Enjoyed this book mainly because it had information I could use and told me many things I never knew. Trying to spot a liar? This will give you some insight.

I've read a bunch of books on this subject from a couple of different perspectives and this was among the best. In fact, I think I'll re-read it. There's a lot of info I should probably revisit.

This information is so valuable that I recommend reading the book and then using the audiobook for repetition and review.
