- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's straightforward and short enough to capture in one read!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Yeah, so, it's a really short read so worth it I think, but it's limited scripted scenarios and common sense, that's worth listening to as a refresher for yourself to remember to pick up on visual cues.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Informative indeed. Some of the gestures mentioned are already known but i am still glad to know more.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It is helpful, would be better if made into a video.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It was a great introduction to the nuero linguistoc programming techniques on the basic level. My only wish is that there were more chapters of analysis
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Didn’t go in depth about any of them. Just basically listed off body language and what they mean. Very short. I finished it on one trip to work in the morning. Not what I was hoping for.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5very short, but interesting. please finish your project first next time :).
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very good examples and real life situations being presented. Simple and easy to follow.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5gives one a technique of knowing the intention of some circumstances.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5very good for students to study, bring a note book and pencil
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great read. Gave good insight and on what people’s no verbals are telling me.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good summary of body language and how to interpret it. I liked the scenarios and interactive quizzes.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It gave me a clear understanding of different human behaviors. Even though we as human life differently, our behavior is quite similar. Thanks to the reader it does not bore me while listening.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Basics of body language. simple and easy to understand. Nice book
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Very short I wish there is more in details so I can read people accurately.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5One of the speakers was too dramatic. Life or gestures aren't as cut and dried as this book is saying. The information was not new. I'm glad it was so short.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Sound knowledge of things to be conscious of while communicating. However, the title exaggerate about reading anyone like a book which is pointless
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Time I spent listening this book was very useful. It was not too long and it was quite simple to understand. There were number of really good examples, exercises through out the book which helped to practice and test yourself. I definitely recommend this book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Simple & straight to the point with clear every day examples
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Started as weird ad, then it was good for about 10 minutes (even though everything said here was common knowledge) and then finished with bunch of tests and (common knowledge) advises. I am not recommending it.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Nothing spectacular. Good listen overall though. Recommend for fresh college students
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5First published in 1971, it's basic and some of the examples are VERY outdated. However, it is a nice introduction.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The role play and dramatization is awesome. Would love to continue learning with the TV sound off as recommended
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Mmm ok, nice and fast. Didn’t like it he music
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book title should be changed to "The Muppet's guide to basic human gestures". It literally lists the most obvious body language and its meaning. Water is wet, and getting punched in the face probably means that the person disapproves of you. Luckily it was only 39 Min and I didn't waste too much time on it.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The book was great and I learned a lot about body language. The book even tests our knowledge halfway through the book which reinforced what I had previously learned. Definitely recommend and it’s short as well so there really isn’t anything to lose here.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If you are interested in adding another facet to your skills on the art of negotiation, this book will help you in doing exactly that.Human Kinetics has been around for a while and has a lot of study and research to back its claims. The authors have used that research and knowledge in their business and consulting relationships to "read" the person(s) at the other end of the negotiating table. This book is a result, tried and true gestures and attitudes that help you read a person.This book is not just for business negotiators. I find it very valuable to use even when I talk to persons one or one, in a social gathering, etc. It makes my life a bit easier if I can "read" a person and see if they are really interested in what I have to say, Vice versa, if they "seem" to be genuine in their speech, etc.This book goes through various gestures and how those relate to certain attitudes. Facial gestures, hand gestures, feet gestures and how you carry your self as a whole.I've thoroughly enjoyed this book, now I have to make sure to try and memorize/remember what the myriad of gestures mean!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Good content but this shouldn't be a book, this should be a video. You can't learn body language by listening to descriptions of it.
Also...seriously scribd? You're going to make this worth an entire credit? The book is 40 minutes long. Definitely not worth a credit! - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5book of non-verbal cues people give off - mostly obvious.
