Awesome - thought provoking, makes me want to learn more!
No fluff!! Makes me want to find more books and dive deeper into these topics. I have several of Chase’s books and am reading and reading-reading them often. I follow him and the rest of The Behavior Panel. So much interesting information I wish I could clone myself and read multiple books at one time. I simply can’t get enough! Highly recommend for anyone interested in learning more about human behavior.

Just the tip of the iceberg
This collection of writings was just the tip of the iceberg for me. I'd like to read more. Combining knowledge of body language and speech patterns could lead to deeper understanding.

Practical applications to influence others in real time. Hughes combines some of his best written work in this book and gives tips on conversation techniques, reading people, and NLP. If you enjoy psychology or are in sales, I think you will like this. Will be reading some more works of his soon.
Here are some examples if you are curious about the type of information here:
The average human blink rate varies from about 17-25 blinks per minute (BPM). As we become interested, curious, entertained or otherwise focused on a stimulus, our blink rate can slow significantly to around 7-10 BPM.
When mirroring body language and gestures, the best rule of thumb is to mirror/match three gestures and movements, and ignore the fourth. This cycle should repeat until you have the ability to lead their body language. Leading body language occurs when you’ve developed enough rapport within the interaction to the extent the subject begins unconsciously mirroring/matching your gestures. Once you’ve gained the ability to unconsciously influence behavior in this way, the brain becomes easily led. Leading the physical body creates a social context in which the subject’s brain begins to follow you as well.
When you first begin to talk, looking at the ground and speaking slower than normal seems to be an ‘I-need-to-listen’ trigger for almost everyone in the western world. This is also a therapy technique taught to psychiatrists who work with mentally ill patients who aren’t able to focus well.
