Best book I've read on body language

Any additional comments?

This book is well written, well narrated and very practical. I was able to apply what I learned immediately. I appreciate the author's careful word choice throughout the book (avoiding over promising about what one can learn from body language) and the clarity of expression. However, this should not be the only book about body language that you read since it is written from the narrow perspective of an FBI agent. Other books cover a broader array of emotions and situations.

Native language of the human body

Highly recommended. Among the few books I've listened to twice in a row. Beyond helpful for just about any profession or personal settings. Well worth your time.

Great information: requires work on your part

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

This is a great book if you're willing to do what he teaches you. It isn't something you read for entertainment more to train your mind to watch for body signals. I took notes and now I'm seeing these body gestures all over the place. This could really help you in work and your personal life.
