Imagine how different your life would be if you could really know what other people were thinking in any situation. Unless you hone into the non-verbal gestures people are giving off, you will never quite know exactly what they are thinking - whether it's reading your colleagues in the office, your spouse or kids at the dinner table, or even a complete stranger on the street. All too often, people fall short of really picking up the true intentions of others as they depend solely on the words that are being spoken.

Publisher's Summary
Instantly discover what's really going on around you!
Know the truth before you ever hear a word!
Approximately 80% of communication is expressed nonverbally. When you know how to unlock the secrets of people's nonverbal cues, you'll always have the upper hand in any situation.
In The Power of Body Language, former FBI counterintelligence officer and recognized global expert on nonverbal behavior Joe Navarro teaches you how to "speed-read" people: decode sentiments and behaviors, avoid hidden pitfalls, and look for revealing behaviors. You will discover:
- How the subconscious limbic system drives all body language.
- Why the face is the least likely place to gauge a person's true feelings.
- What thumbs, feet, and a simple handshake reveal about moods and motives.
- The most powerful behaviors that reveal our confidence and true sentiments.
- Simple nonverbals that instantly establish trust and communicate authority.
- Why things taught about nonverbals in the '70s and '80s are incorrect.
- And more!
Featured Article: How to Improve Your Communication Skills
Knowing how to communicate is one of the most important life skills you can learn, but unfortunately, most of us don't ever receive formal lessons on the topic. Being a good communicator is essential to all aspects of our professional, personal, and romantic lives, so it's important to take the time to evaluate how you communicate, identify areas of improvement, and then strive to apply these lessons in your daily life.

(...) and in the end, they would confess.
In order to better remember and use as future reference, I've made a summary with all main contents. It doesn't by any mean replace the reading, but it helps remember future useful hints! Hope it's helpful!
ABOUT OUR BRAIN
*The hippocampus learns and expands, the amygdala senses danger and helps to keep us safe. The limbic system is designed to react, it's subconscious and non cognitive. Good emotions are dealt by the limbic system as well.
The neocortex is the cognitive part. It allows us to create things, think and lie. Boo!
*Whenever we feel a threat, we have freeze (predators sometimes don't chase things that don't move), flight (the modern equivalent is not running but distancing yourself) and fight reactions (nowadays usually manifests by arguing). 3 Fs. Not 2.
ANALYSING BEHAVIOR
*Behaviors can basically be categorized into comfort and discomfort demonstrations.
*Are behaviors limbic or cultural? Cultural= something that has been taught to us as a common reaction.
Limbic= it's easier to look for clusters to identify limbic reactions. Its reactions also happens very fast, immediately.
*Fragment information - in order to know what generates which feeling, fragment the information and discuss part by part. It will help you read the reactions way better.
*Pacifier reactions can either be used to add physical comfort to good situations or to ease stress. It can manifest through sucking your thumb, playing with your hair or touching your ears etc... Context matters.
*Happy couples have synchronized body patterns, they walk at the same pace and have similar body movements.
ANALYSING THE BODY
FEET 1)when couples get along their feet often touch.
2)When we are comfortable around people, our feet tends to go towards their direction.
3)When someone is empathetic towards someone else, the feet points to them. If they aren't keen to the person, it will point towards the exit.
LEGS 1)Crossing your legs is usually a demonstration of comfort and trust since it breaks your sense of balance.
2)When we cross our legs towards someone it is a sign we trust and like this person the best.
3)Usually depressed people won't bounce their legs or feet because they are so overwhelmed by their emotions they can't "defy gravity", like they are carrying all the weight of the world on their back.
4)Our legs are usually used to defend us. When we are relaxed we spread them a little wider but if we feel tense it closes shut.
HIPS 1) we may lean our hips towards someone to welcome them, but if our feet aren't pointed to their direction, it shows it was just out of politeness.
2) Hip contact is used to demonstrate affection.
3)Hips can also sign discomfort towards what someone is hearing - If the person is agitated it can be one major indicator that the situation is bothering them.
4)Hands on hips with elbows sticking out is one way to demonstrate we have an issue with someone or something. If the legs are also slightly spread apart it shows a very territorial pose. It universally transmits power issues. If the thumbs are pointed to the back it indicates there is an issue here. If the thumbs are pointed forward it changes the impression and makes you look inquisitive rather than intrusive.
5)Thucking the thumbs into the pants or belt in an equivalent distance is a way of framing the genitals and showing sexual interest.
TORSO 1)It transmits how we present our health to the world, as well as our youth.
2)The torso is also called the human billboard because we can "decorate" it in many ways. It can also be an indicative of social status (i.e. imagine a polo shirt with a fancy logo)
3) Looking at the torso also can indicate who this person is, what kind of position they have in society, how their self esteem is etc...
***4)The way we treat our torsos shows how we perceive ourselves
5)When people can see our torsos they perceive us as being more honest. Hiding our torsos is a way of showing we are not approachable, whether it may be because we feel superior or uncomfortable.
6)Positioning our torsos towards someone is called ventral fronting. The extreme opposite, turning our back to someone is ventral denial.
7)Visible tattoos, specially on the torso, nowadays, are perceived negatively in areas in which a high degree of trust is necessary
SHOULDERS 1)When asked a question and only one shoulder comes next to the ear, it's probably less likely that the answer will be truthful. When both shoulders come next to the ear, it's seen as more credible. One explanation is that their limbic system is coherent.
2)The turtle effect, in which the shoulders come next to the ear and the head comes down, indicates that what is being said isn't that strong.
NECK 1)Touching our necks is a kind of pacifying reaction. We often see this in relation to a stressful event.
2)Covering part of your neck shows something negative bothered you. Not covering it when talking about something negative can indicate lying.
3)When we're very comfortable we tend to tilt our heads.
4)The head going from tilt to straight tends to show something went wrong.
5)Tilting our heads to everyone makes people uncomfortable because that's a sign of affection.
HANDS 1)When we like someone we tend to touch them with our full hands. When we don't care, we use only or fingertips.
2)Putting the index and the thumb together indicates precision
3) When we are stippling (putting or fingertips together but not palms, hands spread out) indicates we're very sure about what we're talking about.
4)When we like something, our thumbs tend to appear.
5)One of the ways of showing lack of confidence is hiding our thumbs.
6)Preening behaviors are often associated with good health and with respect; since we usually try to look good when someone matters to us.
7)Preening however can also be bad; doing so while the person speaks without acknowledging them is a sign of disrespect
8)it's also possible to pacify others with our hands, which is a way of pacifying ourselves. We can also achieve the same results by pacifying animals.
9)Handshakes are reflections of the society we grew up in. In some cultures, a strong handshake is important, in some others, a weak one is the social norm. There are some cultures in which you don't even do handshakes at all.
10)One interesting thing to do, is to mimic their handshake in order to create empathy.
11)One rude handshake however, is to use both your hands to cover their hand during the handshake. It's perceived very negatively. This is called the politician handshake. If you feel like you need more touch, then touch the shoulder or the elbow, but don't cover their hands. Also, make eye contact.
PALMS 1)Palms up can send a subtle message of weaknesses, like you're asking for a favor or begging to be believed. Palms down can mean we are very secure of our message and that we are sure about it.
ARMS 1)Putting our arms behind our back and holding our fingers is called the regal position and the message is: don't come near me. It happens because it's the opposite of putting our arms up and forward, which can mean we're trying to reach for someone or something.
2)Hugging ourselves our constantly needing coats when it's not particularly cold is a sign we're trying to protect ourselves.
POSTURE (how we stand) 1) One way of showing respect is adjusting to the pace of walking of those who they perceive to be superior. (I.e. no one walks in front of the Queen on England)
2) The way you stand also is going to impact a lot the credibility of your message.
***3)Criminals target individuals based on how they stand. They go after people who look weak and unaware of their surroundings.
4)The more we spread our legs and body the more territorial we look.
ANALYSING THE FACE
FOREHEAD 1)When we look at the forehead we can have a very accurate notion whether stress or comfort is present.
EYES 1)Covering the eyes is a blocking mechanism. When we hear something we don't like, we close our eyes for at least longer than a blink.
2)When the eyelids come down and remain low for a long period of time it can indicate avoidance and discomfort.
3)When we see something we like our pupils dilate. When we see something we don't like, our pupils constrict.
3)Arching eyebrows (lasts 1/10 of a second) is called the eyebrow flash and it can speed how relationships are established and increase empathy.
4)Eye aversion has more to do with social constructs than whether we're telling the truth or not. Sometimes people avoid looking eye to eye because they understand that as a sign of respect.
NOSE 1)When we are stressed the nose tends to get very dry, therefore more sensitive which can induce the person to touch their nose.
2)When we get excited about something or when we're going to do something physical, the wings of the nose dilate. This can also be a sign the person is going to run or attack us.
MOUTH 1) Social smiles move the corner of the mouth towards the ear but the eyes don't present the crow effect, they don't change, the eyes remain still.
2)When people hive their lips it's an indicator of deep discomfort
4)When the lips are full, relaxed and warm is a sign that there is comfort.
5)When we purse our lips it's a sign of disagreement
6)Yawning excessively is a possible sign that the person is under stress.
7) To exhale with puff cheeks is a sign of relief
8)When we're strong and confident our jaws come out. When we are weak and insecure we put our chins in.

Helped me with my disabled daughter!!!!
I decided to purchase this book to help me with my disabled daughter. My daughter is severely disabled and her ability to communicate when she is in distress is limited. She has lots of conditions including autism and OCD which give her much distress. I was looking for any tools to help me recognize when she is first experiencing stress so maybe I could intervene before she goes into full blown mania. I was not disappointed! Mr. Navarro gave me some valuable tools to use in observing my daughter's behavior. The suggestions in the book have already helped me recognize early stress behaviors in my daughter.
This book also gave me tools which I am excited to start practicing when observing other people's behavior. This could be fun! ;-)
The narration of the book is in a slow, methodical speech pattern which may annoy some people. However, I found that this type of delivery helped me better process the weighty information.
Thank you, Mr. Navarro, for writing this book!!! I am about to listen to the book again.

Same as his other book "What every body is saying"
Would you try another book from Joe Navarro and/or Joe Navarro?
This is my second book by Mr. Navarro because I enjoyed the first one I downloaded. There is no new information in this book. It is the exact same set of stories and examples in a format that is a bit more "raw" or unpolished than the other book. If he comes up with anything new I will check it out.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Huge disappointment it is the same as his other title just recorded by him.

A Must Read for Every Human
Terrific (& valuable) information!
The one (& only) problem I had with this audio book was the author's speed in narration...it was painfully slow (he should've used someone else). I adjusted the speed in my Audible app to 1.25 & it worked like a DREAM!
With the speed up to par I could actually concentrate on what the author was saying...& the information was AMAZING!
You will really come away from this with concrete knowledge on the "how's" & "why's" of all types of body language a person will use during a conversation!
I cannot believe I didn't know this stuff...& the meaning behind different gestures, twitches, motions, pauses (I could go on & on...there's SO much to learn) that people use EVERY DAY, ALL DAY!!!
What else can I say...? An amazing book!!!

information is good but awful reading
I live in Michigan, and we talk pretty fast so to listen at normal speed was unbearable, it doesn't become enjoyable till about 1.75 times the speed.

Very good
I read “What Every Body is Saying” this is very similar but more less a summary- hitting the main points so you can start practicing the best tricks.

good info bad narration
Any additional comments?
this is the second book I read form Joe N, obviously I though enough about the author to read more. Listening to him read was painful I found myself having to back it up a lot because I missed his words due to hard to pay attention.. But if you can get past that and the little interludes they have in there from the CD recording format, its a good book. The first 20 min are especially nauseating, but after that its good info if you can stomach the reading. 2 times through is about all I needed to get the info nailed down.

Just okay
Some useful tips but not the most engaging narrator (the author). He uses “and so forth” so many times that it’s really distracting!

Insightful
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
There are a few friends that i think would find this interesting but i think the majority would find it tedious. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in body language.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Well I definitely wasn't surprised by the ending. It’s not like it turned out the author was lying the whole way through. Like all non-fiction books the endings are usually quite obvious.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrators voice started to grate on me after a while and i needed to take frequent breaks. His voice did make it difficult to listen to.
Could you see The Power of Body Language being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
No
Any additional comments?
Overall the content was very interesting and insightful. I have noticed i have started actively observing people a lot more and trying to spot the meanings behind their movements. It’s also interesting to spot my own pacifying behaviour and note when and why i am doing it. I enjoyed the author’s anecdotal explanations of his work with the FBI which helped to add credibility to what he is conveying. The only thing that let the audiobook down was the author’s narration. I understand why he has decided to narrate his own book but sadly his voice was not engaging and i found him very difficult to listen to. The content of the book however outweighed the narration so on the whole i enjoyed this audiobook.

Get to the point!!!
spends first 60 minutes convincing you you NEED this book. Get to the Point!!!
He rambles too. I feel seriously condescended too. He has so far told me the same thing 11 different ways. I'm meant to be learning something START TEACHING!!!

TERRIBLE narration.
readers voice was slow, monotone and boring, makes it hard to listen to.
couldn't finish the book so still gave 3 stars as the content was not the issue.

Powerfull, Thoughtfull and eye opening
Would you listen to The Power of Body Language again? Why?
Yes, there is to much in this book that can be easily forgotten.
His book is insightful, old movies like Ocean eleven would have you believe you can tell if someone is lying if the person looks up left or right. What you take from his book is you can't tell what they are thinking precisely, you can tell how people feel or what mood they are in. Which can give you que's to ask follow up questions to know why they feel the way they do.
IT helped open my eye's and made me monitor myself not so I could decisive, but to practice mindfullness. I am able to now think about some of the que's and know what I am feeling with more accuracy which helped me work through my emotions rather than be ruled by them.
If you’ve listened to books by Joe Navarro before, how does this one compare?
I have not read other books
How did the narrator detract from the book?
He was very methodical, however his tempo or reading speed made it difficult to stay interested during the technical dissection of his examples.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, there is to much to absorb in one go.

More than half way through the book and I've learnt nothing that's not simple common sense. feels like a never ending introduction to the point where it's frustrating. waste of time and money

A fascinating insight into body language.
"The Power of Body Language" by Joe Navarro is a fantastic audio book! The first time I have managed to listen to an entire audio book, from start to finish, in just one sitting.
I found the content to be very educational, as well as a fascinating insight into the world of body language. I am a complete beginner with no prior experience or knowledge of the subject matter, just a keen interest. I found this audio book to be well paced & structured, with clear & professional audio.
The only two criticisms I have are as follows... 1) It's a little slow to start off with, just for the first 30 minuets or so... 2) The overall duration of the audio book is a bit short. I would have liked a few more hours to really explore some of the content in more detail.
Overall I had a really enjoyable & engaging experience. I would definitely recommend this audio book to anyone with an interest in body language.

Great content not so great execution.
This book contains very good pieces of information about body language and how to read different movements or behaviors, but those information bits are like gold nuggets in a muddy river... and you'll have to dive deep into that river. The way Joe narrates his book is unpleasant. He speaks very slowly and even stops where he shouldn't; in the middle of a sentence, sometimes after each word. Plus he repeats the same though over and over and over again. Honestly, it's very hard to listen to this audiobook... somewhat bearable at 2.5x speed. On the other hand Joe is a very knowledgeable person with exceptional experience... he should've left the narration part to a voice actor. I whish the book would've contained more useful bits and less "filler" sentences with better narration. Good book, but not the greatest listen.

This might be petty but...
The book wasn't that bad and truthfully doesn't deserve one star however I felt I had to give it to express my extreme annoyance at the fact that the last 3 minutes of audio is an ad for some website. This is the first book on audible that I have encountered with an ad and I am not a fan. If I am paying both monthly membership fees and paying for the actually book, I do expect the experience to be ad free.
Im hoping this was a rare case and I will continue to have an ad free experience on audible

Power of body language
I listened to a voice over version of another book by joe and hearing his actual voice gives more life to the words.But,apart from that it’s a very comprehensive book and gives the listener a great Broad understanding of non verbal communication.more study is required like micro expressions and written/verbal language analysis if you want to become a pro.

good clothe amongst the fluff
useful information thinly spread amongst (relevant) stories and examples. to get the most out of this audio I'd recommend intentional review and note-taking of the relevant chapters. Already using some of his principles.

Boooring
I’ll give two stars because I feel mean. Had to speed it up because it’s so slow, found myself skipping chapters because I’m bored. Feel like I already knew all this information from reading a trashy teenage magazine years ago about how to tell if he likes you. That’s just my opinion, the author sounds like a nice guy though :/ maybe useful for people who don’t know a single thing about body language but it’s not for me

Captivating and Fascinating
This was my first pick on audible. The narrator was very easy to listen to and emphasised well. Sometimes I felt he read so well that he was adding in his own personal stories - but he was simply reading the book with suitable emphasis.
I thoroughly enjoyed this and listened to it almost non-stop over two days while waking.

Body language 101
What did you like best about this story?
Easy to follow examples, very easy to relate to. Instantly made me conscious of my own signals. First basic thing I noticed and put into practice was it's very fun to observe people in public especially those on mobile phones; and the incredible amount of signals the Limbic System emits.
What does Joe Navarro bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Joe doesn't try to fancy this course up which is good because It doesn't need it. He keeps the content constant and steady enough for it to be interesting. I think another reviewer disapproved of the narration. Given Joe's voice is a bit mono, I disagree, It's narrated perfectly for the type of content it is.
Any additional comments?
Knock down the price of this audiobook, I think it's like 40+ dollars in Australia...Lots of parental examples I didn't relate to also, but still not enough to knock a star off.

Annoying narrator "and so forth"
Decent content, but has someone actually counted how often this guy says "so forth"?
I did - for 40 minutes. It was 28 times. After that I stopped listening as I could not stand him one more minute!
Really unfortunate, as a professional narrator would have probably transported the content way better.
Will give this book back and avoid him in the future.

Incredible.
The amount of sheer information found within the pages of this book, is astounding. Mr Navarro is quite obviously someone of whom is beyond ‘expert’ level with regard to such knowledge and levels far beyond.
Do your self a Favour. Buy this book.
You’re welcome.
