Format:Paperback
The author of this book (Jo-Ellan Dimitrus) spends her life analysing people to see whether they make a good juror for varying kinds of cases. She has selected jurors for high profile cases such as the OJ Simpson, Rodney King & Richard Ramirez court hearings. What she has done is take her model for working, expanded on it & made it available to us so that we can understand our family, our friends & our colleagues better. This book is not just about reading body language & vocal cues but it teaches you what things to look out for - clues into understanding people, from where they live, what they have on their desks at work, what they wear, to the kind of company they keep. It also has a chapter devoted to asking the right questions so as to help you get a clearer picture of the person you are trying to analyse. It is a very comprehensive book & well worth a read. After reading it I thought that alot of what she says is common sense BUT the fact was that I had not made the connections myself & it only became common sense after reading through the pages. It has two Apendices in the back which highlight: 1. The physical traits & what they reveal. 2. Body language & what it reveals. I must admit that this is one of the better book I have read around the topic of body language as it is more than just that. The sub-title of the book is "Secret tips that reveal the truth behind body language" & basically that is what it is all about!

There is some good information in this book, but as others have said, you do find yourself skipping pages. It's sort of like talking to your mother on the phone; crystal clear concepts will be repeated till you're thoroughly bored but you know she'll get round to the point of the conversation eventually so you still have to pay attention somewhat. I've heard more concise and focused things expressed by drunk stoners than this author.

This book wasn't as stimulating as my other book on body language by Allan Pease. Infact I found myself flicking the pages to find something of real interest that would make me think 'wow I never knew that!' There are lots of references to jury selection based on the principals discussed which I found a bit irritating.

Very informative but a bit boring
Perhaps I should have read this book first and then Navarro's "What every body is saying", as in the latter I enjoyed seeing actual depictions of what was being said, whereas in... Read more

Great Book
I bought this book with The System by Roy Valentine. Excellent combination. Imagine knowing what women want even before you speak to them?

Just a thought or two.
It is a beguiling concept. To sum up the character and thinking of people from their outward appearance. Read more
