Product Description
A complete, easy–to–follow method for "reading people"

Knowing how to read people–picking up on and interpreting their hidden cues–is a tremendous asset for virtually anything you do, from your home life to your love life to your work life. Now, psychologist, communications expert and bestselling author Lillian Glass presents a complete guide that can teach anyone to read people. In this book, Dr. Glass shares with readers her breakthrough program based on the four codes of communication–reading people through their voice, speech, facial, and body language codes–which has helped Dr. Glass’s private clients from all walks of life. After she guides readers through the checklists covering the four codes, Dr. Glass shows readers how to determine which of the fourteen personality types the person being studied is. Throughout the book, quizzes, specific exercises and stories of Dr. Glass’s work with her clients helps reader make better choices in every aspect of life.

Lillian Glass, PhD (New York, NY, and Beverly Hills, CA), has two PhD degrees, one in communication disorders and one in counseling psychology. She has helped many celebrated Hollywood clients, business, executives, sports figures, and politicians.

From the Inside Flap
Knowing how to read people–picking up on and interpreting their hidden cues–is a tremendous asset for virtually anything you do, from your home life to your work life to your love life. Now, in I Know What You’re Thinking, psychologist, bestselling author, and communications expert Dr. Lillian Glass helps you develop a tremendous new set of skills that will make you more perceptive, more powerful, and more successful.

As she has done for numerous Hollywood stars as well as CEOs, sports figures, and politicians, Dr. Glass shows you–step by step–how to gain the power to know the truth about people. You do this by interpreting a person’s voice, speech, facial, and body language codes and the cues that give you insight into the four codes. Dr. Glass covers the full range of cues, from gossiping and chronic complaining to interrupting and phony smiling, from shuffling the feet to habitual turns of phrase, from gestures to clothing styles and grooming. Mastering these cues will make you more aware and socially secure while improving your judgment of other people and helping you make better choices and decisions. If you’re thinking about going out with, marrying, hiring, or going to work for someone, interpreting that person’s four codes is especially crucial. You’ll also learn how to use the four codes of communication to analyze and change your own style while projecting confidence, sincerity, and strength.

Through Dr. Glass’s simple quizzes and easy–to–follow exercises, which she uses with her private clients, you’ll learn how to integrate each of the four codes into one of 14 specific personality profiles. You’ll find out which personality profiles are most compatible with your own and which ones you should avoid or handle with care. Are you talking to a seducer or a victim? A liar or a real dealer? With the help of this fun and down–to–earth guide, you’ll learn the skills that will empower you to answer questions like these immediately while looking anyone in the eye with a quiet self–assurance that says, I Know What You’re Thinking.

4.0 out of 5 stars A straightforward read once it gets going -- worth buying, 2 Jun 2004
By J. Sawyer - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The first 63 pages of this book are preamble -- I wonder if this was the author's idea or the editor's -- then Dr Glass suddenly hits the reader with lots and lots of information.

The four codes Dr Glass mentions in her sub-heading are: Speech (what you say), vocal (how you say it -- your pitch, etc), body language and facial expression.

The second two thirds of the book are jam-packed with detail about what the various elements of the four codes mean and how they combine to show different personality traits. She pretty much simply lists what each signal means -- scratching the head, lisping, frowning -- rather than using any confusing, idiosyncratic system or chart. I find this method pleasantly straightforward.

Dr Glass ends the book with 14 personality types. One might say her way of categorising the various elements of the codes like this is subjective, but it is a good rough guide.

As there is so much information, I think this is a book to keep re-reading until it begins to sink in. It avoids concocting the annoying exercises that so many popular psychology books use, and I only counted the word "empowerment" once!

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Critical Of People, But Not Bad If Read With An Open Mind..., 4 Nov 2008
By L. Beetham "Lippy-Art" (Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book has some strengths & weaknesses. The detail it goes into can be quite informative, and in some way the information is right; HOWEVER, I wouldn't recommend this book for the paranoid or sensitive. In my opinion, the author is extremely critical and this comes across in her writing. She has, in some shape or form, managed to turn everything people do into something negative or something that you should be suspicious of, which shouldn't be the case. The author writes like everything she says is FACT. In our psychology class we've always been taught to keep an open mind - after all, each individual has differences, and nobody is perfect! This author probably doesn't even realise the attitude she writes this book in.

I made the mistake of letting a friend read this book before I did, and she became very self conscious, picking at all the things that, in this book's opinion, mean that she is an aweful person (I assure you she wouldn't hurt a fly!).

I admit, I never finished reading this book, because the more I read, the more things I found to criticise about the author. She needs to learn that just because someone avoids eye-contact with her, they aren't necessarily lying to her face, they could just be insecure!

On the good side, if you take this book with a pinch of salt, the information is quite interesting - just keep in mind, there are no facts in psychology, everything to do with behaviour is based on THEORY (thats not saying it's wrong; it's just not set in stone). The author does mention at one point to take into account people with mental-health problems; though, she fails to remind the reader about general individual differences, and that not everything she says is to be taken so literally.
