About this listen
"Anyone pursuing success must read this book." (Chris Voss, author of Never Split the Difference)
A master class in leadership from the world’s top body-language expert.
From internationally best-selling author and retired FBI agent Joe Navarro, a groundbreaking look at the five powerful principles that set exceptional individuals apart.
Joe Navarro spent a quarter century with the FBI, pursuing spies and other dangerous criminals across the globe. In his line of work, successful leadership was quite literally a matter of life or death. Now he brings his hard-earned lessons to you. Be Exceptional distills a lifetime of experience into five principles that outstanding individuals live by:
Self-Mastery: To lead others, you must first demonstrate that you can lead yourself.
Observation: Apply the same techniques used by the FBI to quickly and accurately assess any situation.
Communication: Harness the power of verbal and nonverbal interaction to persuade, motivate, and inspire.
Action: Build shared purpose and lead by example.
Psychological Comfort: Discover the secret ingredient of exceptional individuals.
Be Exceptional is the culmination of Joe Navarro’s decades spent analyzing human behavior, conducting more than 10,000 interviews in the field, and making high-stakes behavioral assessments. Drawing upon case studies from history, compelling firsthand accounts from Navarro’s FBI career, and cutting-edge science on nonverbal communication and persuasion, this is a new type of leadership book, one that will have the power to transform for years to come.
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

The person who pushes your buttons is likely someone who matters to you - a spouse, a parent, a boss, a fellow church member. Almost always this difficult person is connected to you by blood, love, faith, or money, so you can't just end the relationship without causing pain and upheaval in your life. Our friends and today's culture will often advise us to abandon such relationships quickly - to end this unpleasant chapter and get on with our lives. Psychologist and author Dr. John Townsend disagrees.

Life isn’t about “finding” fulfillment and success - it’s about creating it. Why then has creativity been given a back seat in our culture? No longer. Creativity is a force inside every person that, when unleashed, transforms our lives and delivers vitality to everything we do. Establishing a creative practice is therefore our most valuable and urgent task - as important to our well-being as exercise or nutrition. The good news? Renowned artist, author, and CreativeLive founder, Chase Jarvis, reminds us that creativity isn't a skill - it's a habit available to everyone.

Dead cats. That's the image many people conjure up when you mention curiosity. An image perpetuated by a dusty old proverb that has long represented the extent of our understanding of the term. This book might not put the proverb to rest, but it will flip it upside down: far from killing anything, curiosity breathes new life into almost everything it touches.

Story
Onward tackles the problem of educator stress, and provides a practical framework for taking the burnout out of teaching. Stress is part of the job, but when 70 percent of teachers quit within their first five years because the stress is making them physically and mentally ill, things have gone too far. Unsurprisingly, these effects are highest in difficult-to-fill positions such as math, science, and foreign languages, and in urban areas and secondary classrooms - places where we need our teachers to be especially motivated and engaged.

Life is a series of negotiations, whether or not you think of yourself as a negotiator. From seemingly insignificant daily decisions to major life choices, you negotiate every time you aim to persuade, argue over a decision, or resolve a conflict. But as negotiations and leadership expert Erica Ariel Fox reveals, the most important negotiations - the ones that determine the impact of our actions and the quality of our lives - are those we have with ourselves.

Executive and CEO coach Kristi Hedges demystifies this elusive trait, revealing that leadership presence is the intersection of outward influencing skills and internal mental conditioning. Using her I-Presence model, the author shows how anyone-regardless of position or personality-can strengthen their impact.

Kindly Challenging & Encouraging
This book is structured but not formulaic.
It emphasizes that being an exceptional leader is always a work in progress propelled by curiosity, caring and a desire to always be observing of the people and circumstances.
Much of the book at the start teaches that self mastery requires
a willingness to try to become keenly observant of oneself,
a willingness to understand one’s own emotional motives one’s own actions
so that
one develops a healthy self control of one’s behavior and expression of emotions.
In the first two chapters, there is encouragement to have the mindset of an apprentice so as to be consistent in self learning.
The middle section of the book focuses on effective communication that first strives to make meaningful connection before becoming transactional and learning how to take action that is well timed, ethical and takes into consideration the effects of action. Additionally, Mr. Navarro points out that action needs to be pro social, that action is beneficial, solves problems and encourages respect.
The final chapter of the book talks about how exceptional leaders acknowledge fear in the employees, the other person or entity the leader is interacting with. It is this reviewer’s opinion that there is little written about leaders acknowledging fear effectively. When the leader can acknowledge fear in a group, the leader can then provide psychological comfort, a very primal and important need that is hardwired in all humans. Without action to provide psychological comfort, fear transforms into hate. Hate is destructive and is the antithesis of taking pro social action.
The one who has the most hope
has the most influence
in stressful situations.
This last chapter of Mr. Navarro’s book is reminiscent of the theme in many of Brené Brown’s book discussing how vulnerability is key to being resilient. One has to have courage to acknowledge the presence of fear in a group. Only then and with observation can a leader provide the best type of psychological comfort.
Unlike this formally formatted review that uses third person verbiage, Mr. Navarro does a wonderful job of making this book interesting by the many stories of well known and everyday people as well as many stories of Mr. Navarro’s personal and work experiences. These stories illustrates and clarifies the ideas Mr. Navarro presents in his book.
I really enjoyed the narrator’s work with this audiobook.

Exceptional book on Being Exceptional
Good book with simple message. It’s not rocket science to be exceptional and everyone of us have the ability & opportunities to be. Great book at a time of no talent social media influencers,.. the really exceptional are too busy getting better at what they do. Highly recommend this book.

Exceptional!
I've not read it listened to many books that have three potential to be life altering as this one.
Incedentaly, I just now realized that my header was the same as the name for this book. This could be Freudian but I think it's just a testimony to the quality of what Joe Navarto has written.
I highly recommend this book for anyone that wants to improve who they are in their life.

Hooked
Once I previewed, I knew this was meant for me. I recognized things in myself and others. I fully believe this has sparked an understanding in me.

"Brilliant" is a good word to describe this book!
Absolutely loved this literary book.
"Satisfying” is a great word to use because it promises readers that they will have positive feelings after reading the book.
I highly recommend this one, too!!
