"Not bad - even if a little dated. (I especially liked the tips on pipe smoking and what it reveals!) Even if I do not buy every trick, I do find I use some of the gestures to focus on whether the person I am speaking with is receptive to what I am saying. If not, I try to re-phrase my approach. Would recommend." — Thomas (4 out of 5 stars)

" I found this in a box of old books at my parents' house. I read on a whim and very quickly; it's useful in learning to decipher body language, but it's not very theoretical. It identifies many prominent behaviors and provides some anecdotal/scientific/"scientific" evidence about the underlying thoughts the behavior might betray. It's worth it for the couple hours it took to read, but there have got to be better resources out there. "
" Loved it - great insight and examples. Really makes you consider how you are presented to other people and changes how you think about others. "
" An interesting audio book :) Very helpful "
" Overly chatty, not really enough material for a book Be a nice 'pamphlet'. "
" A very good book on how to read the human body. The social, emotional and sexual hidden messages we send to one another. Illustrations are quite helpful. "
" The title of this book is overrated. The only person who can get benefit from this book are character artist & animator. "
" Interesting but I think I probably knew all this. Good to read all in one place. "
" good book about body language "
" it's very interesting.. although there are words that i don't understand. "
" I would suggest Pease's "Body Language" instead. This book is not as readable and funny. "
" compared to any of Ekman's explanation of emotion and face expression books, this one surely has a different way to illustrate the information. 'twas a fun to read though "
" watching people can reveal much "
" Not bad, but there are many better books on the subject of body language. "
" The author should have learned how to write a book like a book. "
" It was good a book, which's learn how to judge any gesture. "
" A quick guide to understand various body languanges, mimic, gestures of people surround us; yet at the end very much depend on the culture-situation-condition to avoid miscommunication and misinterpretation:) "
" Do you believe in these kind of things?! psychology related fields! "
" Really nice, short introduction to the study of body language and gesture clusters. I wish it had even more pictures and scenarios to test the reader, but it certainly peaked my interest in the topic and its bibliography leads to some more great reading on the topic. "
" Good short read, more common sense than something new "
" Interesting idea, but, ultimately, all the analyses are put forward in a tautological manner. Why do certain behaviors, postures, etc. betray certain moods, thoughts, and feelings? Just ... because. "
" What I like about this book for teaching purposes is that it can work from ALL levels: Low level basic writers up to second level freshman composition. This book has simple explanations that can provide students with a good foundation for future research and studying. "
" Some good practical examples of body language works well in tandem with Signals by Alan pease "
" hmm It`s useful if you you`re interested in body lang. Really I liked it but no new inf cuz I used to read about that lang. alot and It workds very well in my life . "
