I have tried it in several situations and I even took extra care to read my reactions and it actually works . Highly recommended
I found the content to be pretty hit or miss. The authors make a lot of generalizations that are sexist and optimized for more formal, hierarchical organizations. As a female at a tech company, a good portion of the book was irrelevant. As such, I found a lot of their conclusions given a set of body cues to be oversimplified and misleading.
That said, their focus on how different actions may be interpreted made me think more about how I present myself and how I can communicate most effectively. As my first foray into body language, this book gave me a set of tools to better decode and intuit people in complex situations and I found their grounding of some behaviors in evolution fascinating and an interesting way to think about our natural behavior.

It was a fascinating book. I like that they used illustrations, including photos of well-known actors and politicians. And then I got to the parts about glasses and makeup. They advise you to take your glasses off when you speak and put them back on to listen. This is assuming you are a vain attention-monger who wears glasses JUST to be attractive. Whereas if I take them off I can't see you. And I take offense to the idea that women who do not wear makeup are perceived as having poorer personal skills. That's a sexist remark if ever I heard one! Just because I don't smother my face in chemicals doesn't make me less capable of having good interpersonal skills.
this book is bullshit . at fist i waslike oh okay he has some good points but when a reached the point he was saying about differences betwwen men and women , as it was somethnignormal and not something that has to do with nurture , i was very intimidated. Then the bullshit with the height ,ITS FRUSTRATING TO COLLARATE HEIGHT AND A SUCCEFULL RELATIONSHIP, . Also as a person from gen-z who is from greece , i dont agree with the gestures that mean something mean , maybe the things have chaged. this book have to be corrected . It reproduces stereotypes abt women and men . it was disgusting
Informative and entertaining, a well done overview on how to read people based on their body language and how to change the way you are perceived and how you feel by changing your own.
I don't agree with absolutely all their advice, particularly in the job interview section, but then again I don't really have that life experience. While I thought it was a little joke-y and general at the onset, in the later chapters when it gets more technical and speficic, I missed its opening tone. It defintely gets you thinking and would be a great reference book to have on hand.

Didn't read the whole thing but one chapter that I did read was so wrong and unscientific that I simply needed to stop.
