Publisher's summary

Do you ever wonder what other people are thinking? Do you wish you could figure out what's going on inside someone else's head? Then read below.

Since ancient times, we have used our body language to communicate, conveying our emotions and thoughts to those around us. Each person out there has a different body language, encompassing not only facial expressions but also body postures and gestures. Even eye movement is considered part of nonverbal communication, being closely followed by touch and using one’s personal space.

Eighty percent of human communication is actually nonverbal; some experts argue it may even be more. Body language is considered an integral element of nonverbal communication, being used, consciously or unconsciously, to interact with other people. It is often said that body language will serve to complement verbal communication. Through our gestures, postures, and expressions, we are actually transmitting a lot of information about ourselves to the interlocutor.

It is clear that body language can make the difference between a successful interaction and one that is doomed to fail from the start. Basically, the information transmitted through nonverbal means will ensure proper interaction between two or more people.

However, due to cultural differences and other influencing factors, it is important to state that body language can sometimes lead to confusion or a state of ambiguity. One has to be able to use his/her body language to his/her own advantage, working at the same time to decipher the nonverbal information transmitted by the other person with utmost accuracy.

In the end, by mastering the art of nonverbal communication, you will have more successful interactions with other people, reducing the risk of misunderstandings, confusion, and social awkwardness.

Here's what's included in this audiobook:

• Best practices for body language success
• Importance of body language
• Chemistry behind body language
• The four types of distances in body languages
• Body language signals - lower limbs
• Body language signals - upper limbs

great information

Book was concise and held a lot of information to help me effectively communicate with others by helping me to learn about the importance of body language. It was easy to listen to and understand. It shows how body language you can learn to take cues from so you can change your way of communication. It will also show what body lanuae you display and what it means so you can change non-effective habits.

good info, hard to listen to

this book was great to obtain new information and also remind me of some body language knowledge that I was taught in college. the reader of the book has a very monotone voice; I realize that this isn't going to be a book that a I will or should hear in the same tone as say a mystery themed book.

Good for beginners wanting to learn

*This is a Capture Reviews produced review of the book, “Body Language Secrets” by George Pain. This book is supposed to give you representations of non verbal communication and how to interpret it. I didn’t get this much out of it but, you may. This is my view and opinion of the book.*
📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚

The book is a very slow start. Chapter 3 is very confusing, the author talks about distances in social settings, and it feels like that chapter belongs in a whole different book. Gestures that a speaker is making has no relevance on social cues.

Chapter 7 speaks about anger and the consequences of anger. I had to read further to find a correlation if any. I didn’t understand what the consequences of anger had to do with body language. The farther I get into this book, the less It talks about body language.

I find this book very unorganized, for example; chapter 4 talks about the meaning of looking right and left in the air. Chapter 7 also talks about looking right and left, just not in the air. Shouldn’t that have been in the same chapter? This type of disorganization can cause confusion in the reader.

Handshaking was already covered in chapter 5, now again, the author is revisiting hand shaking in chapter 8. This book is all over the place, and not nailed down to anything specific. This book should’ve been named the basics on non-verbal communication, not body language.

Public speaking has been touched on throughout the whole book. The same information has been re-told multiple times. This book would be a good “Introduction”, if you will, into basic forms of non verbal social cues. This book does however, have a few good informational nuggets. It is a good read for someone who knows absolutely nothing about this subject, and needs a point in the right direction.

Helped son

My now 14 year old son has autism and struggles with reading body language signals in people. He's overcome all of the speech delays and other frustrations he's encountered in his life, and this is the only real lingering frustration he has. He wants so badly to naturally pick up on these ques in people just wasn't sure how. This book was perfect because he could listen to the information rather than have to read it. It is written in a manner that was easily understandable for him and I've already noticed him putting the information to use in interacting with others.

Decent body book

I’ve read some books in the PDFs about reading body language and this one is roughly the same. So more of a refresher than new information. I did like the audible a little more since I get a little bit more from someone reading it to me than using my mind. Someone else’s voice inflections can change the way things are perceived. Definitely a try if you looking for this type of book.

Quick and Clean Guide to Body Language

While noticeably brief I found this guide to body language signals and social skills to be very well organized and insightful. A majority of the audiobook focuses on how to best interpret body language signals dependent upon the context of the communication and relationship of those involved in the communication. A secondary focus of the book is on controlling the body language signals you broadcast not necessarily to deceive others but to maintain composure or better relay a point. Overall, I found the book insightful and concise. Like other have reviewers have mentioned, I am also interested in a lot more on the topic from this author but also content with what was covered in what is supposed to be a quick guide on a deep subject.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A Great Guide!!

https://www.audible.com/pd/Body-Language-Secrets-Audiobook//B07DF9S6XK I found this book and I really enjoyed it!! It taught me a lot of things that I never knew about a persons body language! i was very impressed by it! #bodylanguage

Helpful and hopefully an eye-opener for some

I received this for free in exchange for my honest review. I thought it was very informative and an eye opener. hopefully it can help others realize that their body language says a lot and they should be more consciousness. the narrator was too calming, it was hard for me to make it to the end without falling asleep.

Seems very Vague

This book says that a certain body movement could be one thing or the opposite but then goes to say it could be completely different based on the person. It also says that body language is very difficult to hide or change but this is a book on how to master it. I feel this book is very confusing and while it talks about body language and possible meanings there is nothing very solid in this book. Also there is a recap section at the end and it just rereads different parts of the book, they are not expanded on or anything just reread. This section made me think my app had messed up and went backwards only to see it was a new section. Overall I would not recommend this book, if you want to learn about possible meanings for body language it is decent but don't expect to learn anything solid from this.

Eh....

Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of information in this book. Unfortunately, a lot of it was on repeat for me. I felt like I was back in my psychology and interpersonal communications classes. It was hard to get started and I found myself needing to rewind it from time to time to make sure I heard the content correctly.
