"Dynamite. Pure, distilled survival wisdom! I know of no other book like it. Beware the Body belongs in the library of every individual who cares about remaining safe in a violent world. And that should be everyone!" (Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, author of On Killing, On Combat, On Spiritual Combat, and Assassination Generation)

Needs the authors voice

I would have enjoyed the book better if the main author had been reading the book.

IF YOU ONLY READ ONE BOOK, MAKE IT THIS!

On the 8th day, God created this book for Law Enforcement 🙌
This is one of the most beneficial books I've read. As a Patrol Sergeant with 9 years on the road, Sean not only confirmed some of my beliefs based on my own experiences, but opened my eyes to new ones. Why isn't this in the academy curriculum? This type of stuff saves our lives. The section entitled "Pin Pulls" is INVALUABLE.

Phenomenal!

Beware the Body is undoubtedly a required addition to the library of anyone interested in learning about body language. Simple, yet refined, this book is an invaluable resource for law enforcement, security professionals, corporate executives, military personnel, or anyone who could benefit from getting a better read on someone’s unspoken communication (everyone!)

Don’t Recommend

I have a lot of respect for Sean Grogan. He is definitely an expert in his field and has spent a lot of time mastering his craft, but this just was not a well crafted book. I had high hopes for this book and was let down. Don’t waste your time unless you are looking for the very basics. Just go read Joe Navarros books.

Okay Book, Terrible Narrator

Hard to get into this book when the narrator is this bland, especially if you've heard how the author speaks. The narrator sounds devoid of life and has many mispronunciations throughout the book. I find it hard to believe that this is rated so high when the content delivery is so poor.
