This is the first book on body language that I read the whole way through. I found it quite interesting. There were a few sections that were inapplicable to me but over all it made sense.

Didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know.
But thanks for the Xmas present, Chop.

One thing I like about this book is the last chapter and the summary.
No matter when or from where you start this book you'll won't miss anything because the entire book is religiously repetitive on how to read non verbal communication & present yourself so that you don't look stupid or aggressive.
Everything is basic knowledge in this book, but give it a try on others you'll see how many people lack basic etiquette & knowledge no matter where you're from. Probably you might be one of them, this book help you check that too like in every chapter.

Body language books have a bad reputation for being complete nonsense, this one is not the case, but that's because the body language is so basic that only people with no understanding of human emotions would find it useful. If you can draw a happy face, a sad face and an angry face, and you're confident that other people would accurately interpret the emotions of your sketches, then this book is not for you. However, I do respect the author for not making up their own untested theories like some other books.

Pacing requires acknowledging a person, being patient with them, and giving them your full attention. Open your eyes and aim to look at the other person 65-85% of the time while they're speaking. Lean in slightly towards the other person while they're speaking. Smile to demonstrate that you value them. If you want the speaker to carry on, open-handed gestures in combination with leaning in and nodding your head encourage the speaker to continue.

Very repetitive, with information that is common knowledge to many people.

الكتاب مفيد نوعا ما ولكن افكاره تتكرر عدة مرات، يوجد بعض الافكار تكررت 5 و 6 مرات خلال الكتاب
ورتيب جدا، لا يوجد به حماس عالي والفائدة بالنسبة لي كانت محدودة بسبب عدم الدقة
ولكل منا هواه...

2.5 stars technically
Was a good summary and brings all the theory together in one place but not much to write home about. Nothing to write home about

A very simple guide to understand and communicate with people easily, to read between the lines and creat a more understandable connection.

Very basic & repetitive - more a light introduction to the topic.
