WHAT EVERY BODY IS SAYING: An Ex-FBI Agent's Guide to Speed-Reading People

by Joe Navarro

Nonverbal cues reveal what people think, feel, and intend, more accurately than the words they speak. This book explains the former FBI agent Joe Navarro's field-tested methods for reading body language and how to use it to understand others deeply, strengthen relationships, avoid danger and misjudgments in high-stakes situations.

In this summary, you'll learn:

• How to understand nonverbal communication, including 10 Rules for decoding nonverbal cues (to interpret body language in context, spot patterns, and distinguish comfort from discomfort).
• How to read nonverbal cues in different parts of the body, including legs/feet, torso, arms/hands, and head/face.
• How to detect deception by recognizing stress and deception signals, uncovering the underlying causes, and avoiding false assumptions.
