We have all had moments in our lives when we wished we knew what the other person was thinking. Wouldnt that be great? To be able to instantly connect with that person and immediately know what they really wanted to say to you. Youve had those moments when you wanted to tell someone something, but had to word it in a tactful way, and in doing so the meaning became lost. They might have gone away thinking you were saying something completely different. This book will not tell you how to delve inside someones mind and find out what they are thinking, but it will give you the next best thing. Youre going to learn to speed-read the body language of anyone you meet and understand how they think.

I get it. It is hard to put yourself in the mind of someone else, to understand their thoughts or what they want from you. Sounds like the stuff you see in superhero movies, mind-reading, right? Well, I am here to let you in on a little secret. We all have the ability to understand the person next to us and what he or she is saying. Like when your son says, Dad, Im fine, but you know he is not fine because you see it in his body language or hear it in his voice inflections. That is mainly what analyzing people is all about: analyzing their verbal and nonverbal cues.

The ability to analyze a person or read them like an open book is an incredible skill that can open doors for you! It has helped me out so much in my lifetime, and I only wish I had learned how to do it sooner. There are so many times this has come in handy, but a critical moment for me was during a sales pitch in my career. This pitch could make me or break me. It was that one moment in life we all look back on and will always remember as the axis to change. At least, in my professional career, it was. My secret weapon during the pitch was not my fancy suiteven though it was a really nice suit.

There have been many instances where all I have had to go on is my ability to read the body language of the person to whom I was pitching my business idea. I remember when I was in a sales pitch for the line of gym clothing I was developing. My wife, Michelle, was pregnant with Sammy and I wanted to give them both not only everything that they needed, but also everything they wanted. I felt that was my duty as a husband and a father. Not feeling that the income from my personal trainer business would be enough, I had decided to make my mark as an entrepreneur. The gym clothes line was just one of the ideas that failed to take off, but it was while I was pitching for funding on this idea that I realized I wasnt making the most of all the information. The information and the signals were there. I just wasnt paying enough attention. I decided to talk less and observe more.

My secret was my ability to interpret and analyze the potential investors communications to me. I was able to tell through his nonverbal and verbal communication whether he liked what I was saying or wanted me to say something different and whether I was on the right track. These cues of his allowed me to steer the sales pitch in a way that made me look good.

I know it can seem like a daunting or impossible task; it looked that way to me at the beginning too. However, I stuck to it, and I learned a really valuable asset in my life. And you will too! Just imagine being able to confidently assess any social situation and react accordingly, with no worries about saying or doing the wrong thing. Yes, that can be you. When we analyze a persons cues, we have a much better chance of a successful interaction.

As humans, we tend to feed off of one anothers energies and emotions, and when we understand the energy or emotion the other half of the conversation requires, our social interactions are more pleasant.

There have been many times in my life where the need to read someone like a book has arisen, and this tool in my arsenal has never let me down. As a father to two beautiful children, there are many times where being able to understand what they are saying to me nonverbally has changed the course of an interaction for the better. Those of you with children, wives, and husbands will all relate. Imagine a conversation with your significant other; you guys are disagreeing. If you could understand why they are upset, or even discern that the tone of the conversation is heading toward them being upset, you could salvage an unpleasant conversation and turn it into one where all parties leave it smiling.

I have developed the skill of interpreting and analyzing people over many years, and since it has been such a fantastic tool in my arsenal, I want to share it with all of you. This book will cover various parts of analyzing people. Together we will go in depth into understanding verbal and nonverbal communication and how it can be applied to our personal interactions. In order to read a person like a book, you need to let go of preconceived notions and ideas, and this book will help you get there. I will take you through each step, and at the end, youll have a better understanding of not only how to analyze other people, but also about the cues you unconsciously give when communicating.

Communication is vital in todays world. Whether your goal is to understand how to use social cues to your advantage, read a person like a book, so you better understand them, or even catch your children the first time they lie about eating that last brownie (yes, it was them), this book can help you get there in just a few simple chapters. It is essential to keep an open mind when you are communicating with someone; this way you have the best chance not to put your own feelings into analyzing them. You will always come out with a more accurate assessment of them if you remain unbiased.
