She says she agrees. Does she?
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. Joe Navarro, a former FBI counterintelligence officer and a recognized expert on nonverbal behavior, explains how to "speed-read" people: decode sentiments and behaviors, avoid hidden pitfalls, and look for deceptive behaviors. 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
- Simple nonverbals that instantly establish trust
- Simple nonverbals that instantly communicate authority
Filled with examples from Navarro's professional experience, this definitive book offers a powerful new way to navigate your world.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

I am a civil trial attorney, and I long relied on gut feeling and intuition when I picked a jury. In other words, just dumb look. This book gave me the ability to know, with some basis, whether a jury liked my client or the opposition, and whether I was effectively advocating my client's defense. Once, in a memory seared sharp, I completely torqued a juror off, which I realized by her flared nostrils and lips pursed together to nonexistence. I was able to dig out of that situation.
This isn't the key to picking a perfect jury, but it helps. It's like knowing a secret code.
I occasionally listen to the book to refresh my techniques. The book teaches how to speed read people, but learning the techniques takes a lot of time, patience, practice and feedback - when you can get it.
I'm giving the book an overall 4 because it is so useful, but it's a 3 on the story. Despite the exciting topic, it's pretty dry and academic. The narration is a three, too. It sounds more like a business seminar than a narration.
I want to mention that "What Every Body is Saying" and Pamela Meyer's "Liespotting: Proven Techniques to Detect Deception" (2011) really builds on Navarro's techniques. Listen to them consecutively, and it's like a college psychology course.

Would you consider the audio edition of What Every BODY Is Saying to be better than the print version?
No. They are essentially the same.What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
The narrator had a good serious tone that was appropriate to the content. However, it was much too obvious that he was reading and thus it was quite monotone.Great text.

Is there anything you would change about this book?
I was curious to learn something new about perceiving the people around me by their body movements. This books is mostly about how to tell if someone is lying, but there is a lot of other behavior I was curious about that this book didn't cover. I felt overall the book was superficial.How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
More about how to perceive a larger range of behaviors.Fairly superficial mostly about lying

Would you listen to What Every BODY Is Saying again? Why?
I will listen to it again, because one listening is not enough to absorb all the tips it has on how to get and interpret cues on what people are feeling.What other book might you compare What Every BODY Is Saying to and why?
The power of body language, because they talk about the same subject.What about Paul Costanzo’s performance did you like?
I can understand him even at thrice the speed.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I loved his chapter on how hard it is to detect deception, and cautioning listeners about the dangers and abuse that can result.Any additional comments?
Before getting it, I read reviews complaining about two issues:a) The need to check a PDF. I found this to be a good thing. This way I don't have to imagine everything. I printed it on two pages per sheet, both sides, and got an 8-sheet booklet, very practical.
b) The narrative being dull. I listened to it at thrice the speed, and was interesting. At normal speed it may result too slow. Fortunately, the audible app has that speed setting.
Very informative.

Sadly Audible wouldn't provide the PDF that should follow with the book so one will miss out on some points if this is the first time you look into body language
Audible has a lack of service especially for folks outside the USA. Hope they soon realize the world is larger than just USA and begin giving good customer service to foreigners as well. I guess our money is as good as those you receive from the US customers
But all in all a great book that I would highly recommend people to read. Sad one has to complain about audible in a good review
Great and very interesting book

Make sure you pull down the PDF ahead of time so you can reference it as there are over 80 diagrams mentioned in the book.
Great information!

What made the experience of listening to What Every BODY Is Saying the most enjoyable?
The ability to put the lessons from the audiobook straight into action in everyday life. Reading people really helps in my work and I was able to get measurable results immediately.What other book might you compare What Every BODY Is Saying to and why?
I cant compare it as I haven't listened to anything like this one. This type of subject matter doesnt usually appeal to me.Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Paul Costanzo?
Anyone else. His reading is like a news reader with random pauses and slow pace that makes it hard to decipher whether he is on the same sentence or has started a new one. His monotone frustrated me thoughout the book.What insight do you think you’ll apply from What Every BODY Is Saying?
I will be able to decipher body language and detect a greater insight into peoples true feelings in certain situations.Great info that you can put straight into practice
