I picked this book up for free on Amazon when it was a promotion thing, and I definitely enjoyed and benefited from this book. The premise is simple: The body speaks a universal language, and it does not lie. this language transcends barriers of race, gender, culture, religion, education, wealth, and any other sort of demarkations we use to isolate ourselves from others.

The author tries to explain out many of these universal signs that we all give off, and many of the indicators are very accurate. There were times, however, when I would wonder about some of the descriptions and how accurate they are when it comes to everyone, because his inferences come across as too specific sometimes, especially when I would reflect on times that had made these specific actions or gestures.

All in all I enjoyed the read, and I learned many things about body language and the way our bodies give voice to the truth, even when our words do not.


I flirted back and forth between three and four stars, but in the end I settled on three. This was a great introduction into the world of body language (and if you want a great and entertaining TV show on the topic, check out the short-lived show Lie to Me), but it was a short read that at times can be confusing in the way it presents the material. There should definitely have been more photos than it had, as there were some gestures that I couldn't quite grasp because I couldn't picture or emulate them from the description in the book.
