Along the way we hear a lot of episodes from the author's carrier and personal life when his ability to read non-verbal cues had made a huge difference. I loved that although the author is proud of his level of expertise, he doesn't attempt to come out of these stories as a know-it-all expert who is always right, able to solve any problem and never makes mistakes. As everyone, I've heard bits and pieces about body language and its importance, especially when you are trying to impress, convince, get a job and what not. But this is the first book I ever read on the topic, and I'm glad I happened on Joe Navarro's "What Every Body is Saying" to introduce me to the fascinating world of body language.Funny thing: as I was writing this review, I had the book beside my Mac, for quotes, and noticed one funny thing about the book cover. In the book the author says that crossing the legs indicates that person is comfortable with the one s/he talking with (spread legs indicates dominance, who wants that?), that crossing legs in a relaxed manner indicates comfort. But, if you put your ankle on your knee, it says that you are trying to create a barrier between you and a person you're talking to/with.

There is so much more in this book than the obvious elements of body language we all know (and think we can interpret correctly, which is not necessarily true). The material is presented in straightforward and engaging manner. All the body language elements are illustrated by images in an accompanying pdf. Sometimes the book is a bit repetitive, but usually there is a logical reason for this (for example, many of the non-verbal cues discussed in previous chapters are mentioned again in the last chapter in the context of how indicative they are when we try to judge if a person is telling the truth). Joe Navarro, der 25 Jahre für das FBI gearbeitet hat, geht in seinem Buch “Menschen lesen” auf die Bedeutung der Körpersprache ein und folgt dabei einer klaren Struktur. Aufschlussreich war auch die persönliche Geschichte hinter dem Autor selbst. Dadurch wurde ersichtlich warum er sich so intensiv mit dieser Thematik beschäftigt hat.

Hands interlaced behind the head means I'm in charge and is also indicative of confidence or dominance His book is one of the best when it comes to this subject. Sure, not everyone would be easy to read but since reading this book I have been noticing more what certain body language is saying, and honestly it tends to run on the side of true. It's almost laughable how easy the majority of us are to read. Faces associated with bad tastes or unpleasant food like mini snarls and nose crinkles indicate displeasure and can be very fleetingly displayed
