What Every Body Is Saying: An Ex-FBI Agent's Guide to Speed-Reading People

From School Library Journal
---------------------------

Adult/High School—This book illustrates which nonverbal clues telegraph untrustworthiness and deception and
which radiate sincerity and compassion. In this fascinating take on body language and the ability to decipher it for use
in everyday life, Navarro emphasizes that while knowing the reasons for certain behaviors—like touching one's neck—can
be useful in "reading" people, they are not foolproof barometers of deception. A former FBI agent who commonly used
these techniques to help crack cases, the author cautions about jumping to conclusions and encourages using clusters of
nonverbal patterns to help discover whether a person is lying or just under stress. One chapter is devoted to the brain
and its limbic system, which controls those involuntary quirks of behavior. Black-and-white photos illustrate different
points throughout. This book is a worthy research tool, and a good addition to larger collections.—Charli Osborne,

Review

“A masterful work on nonverbal body language by an exceptional observer. Joe Navarro’s work has been
field-tested in the crucible of law enforcement at the highest levels within the FBI. I cannot praise the book enough.”
