very insightful

I got a lot of value from the book. It was quite thought-provoking and I can't wait to listen to it again in the future

Boring and Obvious

If you lack common sense and don’t know how to be observant of people than this is the book for you. This book is so basic and boring I would highly advise to find something different, I have no takeaways from this book other than having wasted my time.

Fascinating and Insightful

At the end the book the narrator says , thus has been how to read people like a book; he really should have said, thus has been fascinating! Lots of interesting concepts and insights, will definitely listen to this book at least once or several times again.
