Summary: Where's The Beef...
Review: Body language & non-verbal communication fascinate me, so I figured to love this book - Besides, from reading its title, I expected this book to be one up on secret sex stuff so how could I go wrong.Unfortunately, no such information exists in this book - For what it's worth, the author's presentation is totally devoid of detail or information - On a scale of 1-100 rating subject content, this book is worth a 5 - Next to nothing on page after page after page. For example, the author writes one statement about how someone's automobile is an extension of his body and therefore an important indicator of self image - Great, but that is the sum entirety of the author's comments in that area - No specifics, examples, analysis, nothing - Just knowing cars are important is good enough I guess - The whole book is that way. The idea of an authoritative book relating body language to sexual content and non-verbal communication is a great idea - If the author knows anything of such matters, he should write one.

Summary: A Great Title, If This Kind Of Advice Was Only True
Review: Books on body signals are a joke to begin with, and this one leads the pack. This book is totally ridiculous. There are pictures of people's faces, with expressions of surprise, shock, disbelief and anger. The author then explains each expression, as if we, the reader couldn't already tell what each expression was saying! Oh please! I use to be interested in this subject, until I just used my own common sense. Just look at her face and eyes. That tells the whole story about what she is thinking about you. After reading this, I found nothing that was the least bit useful, especially believable.

Summary: Instinct is better!
Review: Not impressed. If you are really that curious about the whole subject matter your own instincts will give you a clearer picture. The whole book was banality after banality, with no new or even slightly new information. A waste of money, better spent doing something you enjoy rather than in this particularly futile direction.

Summary: One of the best books on body language
Review: Some books I just read and some books I read with a highlighter underlining as I go then making notes in the margins. Flipping through this book, I found that I had heavely highlighted it, the detail is that rich. While the illustrations were not that informative the content is. And it's not a sexual technique manual, it's more on methods of flirting and how to detect it. I recommend it.

Summary: Psychology without the Psycho-babble
Review: This book was written by a clinical psychologist. However, unlike many other books of this type, there is no pop-psychology jargon or grating "feel the love -let's sing Kumbaya" tone either. I got the feeling reading this that it was originally a textbook for an undergrad college class-no bad thing, the author clearly has taught this subject before and knows how to communicate it. This is NOT about manipulating people or making someone become attracted to you who otherwise would not. Instead, it's more of a decoder-ring intrepretation of visual cues people make when looking at someone whom they find attractive (or not). You really can observe the behaviors the author discusses in any social situation; it really does work. Be warned though, that the blurb in the Amazon writeup is a little misleading; the book does not laundrylist gestures and meanings it's simply not laid out that way. Worth getting if you're single, or simply interested in people watching.

Summary: I am enlightened!
Review: This is a must read for the naive and unexperienced heterosexual male. If used correctly, the contents of this book can help anyone dodge what I call "social selection." Do yourself and every possible conquest a favor by reading it.
