He says that's his best offer. Is it? She says she agrees. Does she? The interview went great—or did it? He said he'd never do it again. But he did.

- The most powerful behaviors that reveal our confidence and true sentiments

This fascinating book is a guide to the nonverbal communication people use in everyday situations. It comes from the FBIs analysis of nonverbal clues that telegraph untrustworthiness and deception. The author's goal is to help you understand and decipher body language in every day situations so that you can better understand people, whether they know it or not. A section of the book explores the brain and the limbic system, which is the source of involuntary signs that people demonstrate in response to their emotions. All in all a good look at a specific element of reading people.
If you're looking for a complete guide to reading and responding to other people, I absolutely loved a book called The Personality Code

I enjoyed this book. The author seemed to have a more scientific background than some of the other books I read on this. The reasoning behind WHY we make certain movements was interesting, and the fact that he worked for the FBI makes me more inclined to use his analysis. Fun to read as well.
