Reading body language is really our first language. As the years pass we plateau in our fluency, but FBI agent Joe Navarro took it to a whole new level. His book What Every BODY is Saying: An Ex-FBI Agent’s Guide to Speed-Reading People shares his insight and experience. He’s caught spies and criminals with his craft, and he’s seen personal relationship problems long before anything was verbalized.

This is a helpful book because it gives you tangible things to look for when you read a person. Everybody would benefit from this knowledge.
