Interesting reading November 25, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I paint and got this to understand people to make a point in my paintings. It is real entertaining. Enjoy!
The other reviewers are right on September 9, 2007 Unfortunately, I bought the book while browsing, rather than doing my usual checkups on Amazon.
I like that the author approaches the four different aspects of reading people to give an overall sense of the person, rather than just focusing on body language or personality by itself. If I can find another book on the same subject but written better, then I'd love to read it. But I had to skim past the inane quizzes, the arrogant examples, and the oversimplified explanations. In doing so, I think I may have missed a few of the good points she probably makes. I know I'll try to re-read it, because there are some good things in the book, they're just more difficult to find.
Agree with others - fluff and arrogance August 30, 2007 I agree with the other reviewers in labeling this book as "fluff" and an opportunity for the author to talk about how great she is. She uses extreme categories liberally throughout this book - trying to pigeon-hole people into descriptive categories that are narrow and negative. For someone with a terminal degree, she provided not one reference or citation to studies that she referred to while attempting to validate her points. This book is not scientifically based and there is NO way that Oprah would have this woman or her book on her show!

Buying this book is a waste of money. Reading this book is a waste of time. The author is evidently narcissitic. The author is not shy about dropping names of the famous people she has treated. All the examples are of famous and affluent people she knows. The thoughts are only partially developed. She begins a subject and leaves you hanging. The chapters are very generic and things you already know. The book is an advertisement for herself and at the back she has a full page devoted to contacting her to do business with her. Your money and time would be well spent looking elsewhere for help on this subject.
