Difficult to read... but with worthwhile nuggets

I found the author's writing style difficult. The author works with a four-point "R-E-A-D" outline; such an outline should result in a smooth-flowing book, but this was not the case. [One outcome - this is not a book I send to anyone as a gift). However, if you find this book in a public library, then borrow it. The book contains a number of useful nuggets. In particular, his anecdote (p. 191) on "false cognates" is a red-alert. We are reminded that we don't exactly answer a question. Our answer is to our understanding of the question(and our feelings about the question and the environment (e.g. the interrogator)). This can be troublesome. [The anecdote demonstrates someone admitting, across a language-divide, to child rape because of innocuous "false cognate" words used by the interrogator.]

Be a Military Interrogator in less than 300 pages!!

This book, didn't really grab me, not after reading "The Definitive Book of Body Language" by Pease and Pease.

This book, while well written, just really doesn't teach you anything. How can you have a body language book without that many pictures? He talks a lot about interrogating people and whatnot. I'm in the Army, and that's well and good, but not really meant for people in every day situations. He goes off on A LOT of tangents that left me scratching my head. When he talks about cultural influences, he goes back to the Middle East a lot. His examples, once again, leave the reader going "Huh?!" You want me to find the IED maker??

I used "The Definitive Book of Body Language" as a base in my studies and used this book as a way to reinforce the information I already knew. I'd recommend this book as a second reading after reading something else. If you want to interrogate someone, this may be the book for you. It was helpful, but not in a significant way.

The class he offers is probably a lot better.

Are you in business, journalism, law enforcement, or medicine?
Do you face students in a classroom or criminals in a courtroom?
Are you in a relationship or looking for one?
Do you have children?

Then you need the skills to read them like a book! I Can Read You Like a Book features a system for scanning and interpreting anyone's body language, enabling you to figure out what they are really saying or feeling:

Review: Check out someone quickly, from head to toe.
Evaluate: Know what to look for; notice what's relevant.
Analyze: Spot voluntary versus involuntary movements; factor in gender, context, culture.
Decide: Draw your conclusion.

Step-by-step, you will develop the same skills the best interrogators and detectives use to assess spies, criminals, and witnesses. As part of the process, you will observe some of the most famous people in the world through interrogator Greg Hartley's eyes. You'll discover what emotions these politicians, pundits, and stars are leaking through their body language and facial expressions, and what their answers (or non-answers) are really saying.

I Can Read You Like a Book gives you the fastest, most efficient method to read body language. In any kind of face-to-face competition, first encounters or daily encounters, and even watching the news, you will spot the messages and emotions that people are really sending--whether they know it or not.

As a bonus, you will learn how to use your own face and body to your advantage, whether you're trying to evade a difficult question, handle a sensitive situation, or just playing poker!
