The interview went great - or did it?

He said he'd never do it again. But he did.

Listen to this book and send your nonverbal intelligence soaring.

You'll also learn how your body language can influence what your boss, family, friends, and strangers think of you. You will discover:

• The ancient survival instincts that drive body language
• Why the face is the least likely place to gauge a person's true feelings
• What thumbs, feet, and eyelids reveal about moods and motives
• The most powerful behaviors that reveal our confidence and true sentiments

Filled with examples from Navarro's professional experience, this definitive book offers a powerful new way to navigate your world.

Great book - but needs the pdf!

An interesting read, I only wish I had read it before confronting my partner about his affair...!

It does need to be sold with the pdf ...having verbal descriptions of body language is not much good. I managed to find it by googling the title:)

Any additional comments?

Give us more info :One can Learn and have more of an open thinking

it's even better on the second listen

I just finished listening to this book for the second time, and it seems better than the first. After initially reading this book I was a lot more aware of what everybody was saying. Being a professional public speaker, and communication geek, I get really into body language and how it communicates what people are trying to say. This is an excellent resource for a beginner, intermediate, or Advanced speaker to learn more insights to Their audience whether that be one person or a crowd of thousands. and I am transcribing this because I typically listen to audiobooks in the car, so my apologies if there's any typos or incorrect words.

Insightful, and entertaining

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

Yes, there is so much information. I am very interested in the topic and the author did an excellent job conveying the message.

Who was your favorite character and why?

n/a

What does Paul Costanzo bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Paul Costanzo makes me feel as if he were just talking to me. The book flows and the words come to life.

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

I now am more intrigued in people watching. Reality tv just got more interesting. The body language is so revealing, so much more than the words that are spoken.

Not ground breading

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

As a behavioral Scientist I would not necessarily recommend this book to another professional. I think it may be interesting to those who have no knowledge of behavioral language. I don't suppose that those folks would be interested. I thought it is an OK book. Mostly boring.

If you’ve listened to books by Joe Navarro and Marvin Karlins before, how does this one compare?

not listened to others by this author.

Did Paul Costanzo do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

na

Very Informative!

Great book and VERY useful information for anyone who has to deal with humans in any capacity!

Interesting information

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

Only heard the audio version, but there were many references to descriptive pictures in the book and those would have helped.

Basic body language info, confirms intuition...

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I've had my mind blown by books like The Sociopath Next Door and The Gift Of Fear and imagined this book would be similarly perspective-altering. It was perfectly listenable but mostly confirmed body language queues that your intuition already flags.

Perhaps if I worked in a field where such interpretation is pressing, law enforcement or high school principal ;-), I'd have been more affected.

Strangely, though the book is competently narrated there were portions that sounded robotic. Not as an adjective, but literally.

What was most disappointing about Joe Navarro and Marvin Karlins ’s story?

No narrative threads to make the technical information come alive. A bit abstract and difficult to follow without the PDF showing the physical behavior. Not an ideal candidate for an audiobook, in my opinion.

Any additional comments?

There are other titles in the genre you're likely to find more colorful and engaging.

well written and informitive

this book is filled with insight. after reading this obviously you'll need to practice but i gives you what to look for.

Very Informative

This book was so freaking insightful. it helped me see a bit more of what was really going on around me in a social setting. it also helped me observe myself and the way my own body conveyed a subconscious message, like the way my body would react and whatnot. good book.
