Summary: Waste of time and Money!!!
Comment: Do not buy this book. I just wasted 3 hours reading thru this and I didn't learn a single thing. Unless you need someone to tell you that "a nod is a signal of agreement" or how to distinguish between a man and a woman's appearance, do not waste your time or money on this book. If you don't believe me, go check it out for yourself in a book store first which is what I should have done. Really, I don't know what these other people who gave it good ratings were thinking.

Summary: Brilliant Book - A Rare Treasure
Comment: Why I wrote this review:
I had to write this review after reading the 1 star "spotlight" review, entitled "ok but not what I expected." I have read countless books on Body Language, Self-Help, NLP, Social Psychology, and Persuasion, and this book is one of the best books I have read. The negative review is inaccurate and misleading. (Note: I am not affiliated with the author or publisher in any way.)
This book is not for everyone:
If you won't do the real world body language exercises don't buy this book. You need to actually do them. They're fun! Many books on body language will give you "generalizations" or generic rules, which you read about but never incorporate into your every day life. This book's different because instead of just telling you a concept you actually get to experience the concept. After reading this book you'll look at the world differently.
The real world body language exercises are fun:
For example, instead of just telling you about current theories related to pupil dilation and attraction the author suggests that you actually go out into the real world and try it: "Select an attractive stranger... Try to decide from their eyes alone whether or not they like you..." The author gives you further advice and pointers on what to look for and what to do. If you do the fun exercises like this, your awareness of body language will improve dramatically.
This book is great because:
It incorporates body language into your every day life, and covers a wide range of topics including: eye contact, facial expressions, gestures, personal space, posture, proximity, touching, and even more sophisticated NLP concepts such as timing and synchronization.
I strongly recommend this book. For other great book ideas check out my listmania lists.

Summary: Interesting!
Comment: This book is very complete and interesting but in order to really appreciate it you must complete the "real life" experiments throughout, so you tend to need to dedicate a lot of time to it.
