Karlins Marvin - What Every BODY Is Saying: An Ex-FBI Agents Guide to Speed Reading People

observed the suspect carefully. When the ice pick was mentioned, the mans eyelids came down hard and stayed down until the next weapon was named. The agent instantly understood the significance of the eyelid behavior he had witnessed, and from that moment forward the

minor suspect became the primary person of interest in the investigation. He later confessed to the crime. Chalk one up for Joe Navarro, a remarkable human being who, in addition to unmasking the ice-pick killer, is credited with catching scores of criminals, including master spies, in a distinguished twenty-fiveyear career with the FBI. How was he able to do this? If you asked him, he quietly would say, I owe it to being able to read people.

Joe, it turns out, has spent his entire professional life studying, refining, and applying the science of nonverbal communicationsfacial expressions, gestures, physical movements (kinesics), body distance (proxemics), touching (haptics), posture, even clothingto decipher what people are thinking, how they intend to act, and whether their pronouncements are true or false. This is not good news for criminals, terrorists, and spies, who, under his careful scrutiny, usually give off more than enough nonverbal body signals (tells) to make their thoughts and intentions transparent and detectable.

It is, however, very good news for you, the reader, because the very same nonverbal knowledge Joe relied on to become a master Spycatcher,

human lie detector, and instructor at the FBI is what he will be sharing with you so you can better understand the feelings, thoughts, and intentions of those around you. As a renowned author and educator, Joe will teach you how to observe like an expert, detecting and deciphering the nonverbal behaviors of others so you can interact with them more successfully. For business or for pleasure, this knowledge will enrich and magnify your life.

Much of what Joe will be sharing with you in this book was not even recognized fifteen years ago by the scientific community. It is only through recent advances in brain-scan technology and neural imaging that scientists have been able to establish the validity of the behaviors Joe will be describing.
