Interesting and instantly applicable

Within five minutes of starting this listen I learned somethign that helped me that day. Detailed explanations and discussion were interesting and helped me to better understand my boss, my employees, and many whom we work with even my son.

I listened to this twice back-to-back to make sure I caught it all. I am sure there is another listen in my future as well.

Download the reference guide, it will prove helpful as well.

I LOVED the content in this title but...

*other shoe dropping*

The Narration is painful. The narrator reads most of the book in three to five word staccato phrases. this makes....the book...a difficult listen. I have listened to other titles narrated by Mr. Costanzo and delivery did not seem to be an issue. Perhaps I wa so intent on the content that the narration got in the way.

Unique information on body language

Great information in this book that adds two, and clarifies information that is commonly available. This book fills in a lot of holes and is very helpful

A lot of references to figures limits audiobook

What made the experience of listening to What Every BODY Is Saying the most enjoyable?

Easy to listen to and narrated well

Any additional comments?

A lot of references to figures for body language are necessary but not good for audio book format

Not as helpful as I anticipated

It is a fascinating topic for me. I think it may have been more useful in paper with the pictures readily available. Perhaps I will listen to it a second time and see if I get more from it.

Better in print...

What did you like best about What Every BODY Is Saying? What did you like least?

The information was interesting, but there was too much padding... and the narration was probably the weakest I've experienced with Audible.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

The PDF file (constantly referred to in the narration) needs to be included in the download.

How could the performance have been better?

Definitely needs a different narrator. The reading was stilted. It seemed that narrator was reading the material for the first time.

AMAZING BOOK MUST READ

the fact that every day i can now understand what every body is saying, wether someone is going to attack me or is annoyed by me or is comfortable around me, is so awesome, this book is unbelievable. CAUTION this book is not a one time read, i have read it 3 times now and i'm still finding tons of new information that i did fully grasp before ;-)

Great to hear how to spot a lie

Did a very good job of explaining how the body's automatic responses are affected when we lie or tell the truth

Extremely helpful

I have almost tripled my income in sales thanks to this book! It truly contains valuable, and extremely useful information!
