Useful Knowledge

I would not call this book a necessarily exciting read, but I did find the knowledge within useful. Be careful, some of the behaviors that Tonya Reiman identifies in this book can't be unnoticed anymore once your attention has been brought to them. Reading body language can be a gift and a curse but I have definitely enjoyed bringing my awareness to this much neglected form of communication.

Interesting

Would you listen to The Power of Body Language again? Why?

I probably will listen to it again. Not that it was such a great book, it was a good book but it contained some good insights into behavior.

Great Information

What made the experience of listening to The Power of Body Language the most enjoyable?

Reiman put together a wealth of information about body language. It's an enlightening experience. I finished the book feeling much more aware of myself and am excited to see how I can use it to be a better communicator.

Any additional comments?

She begins almost every comparison between men and women with the words, "Women are better than men..." It would have been better if she'd done a balanced treatment for both genders.

Helpful in All Areas of Life

I have loved watching Tonya Reiman on her frequent television appearances, discussing the body language of celebrities and politicians, and I'm so glad that she has written this book. Learning the techniques of exuding confidence and making a great first impression are essential for career growth...and being able to know when someone is lying is a valuable skill to possess. I loved listening to her and highly recommend this audiobook.

A manual on body language!

Where does The Power of Body Language rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This ranks as my first audio book ever so its the 'best' so far! I'm very pleased i found it useful & entertaining.

What other book might you compare The Power of Body Language to and why?

I compare it to books in the 'power and influence' genre of nonfiction so books such as 'The 48 Laws of Power', 'The Art of Seduction', and 'How to Read People Like a Book' come to mind. Tonya's book gears me toward direct and indirect use of personal power. Its an excellent primer on being both observed and observer of situations, proactive and subtle. The other books i mention are just examples of this field but this book also adds to your repertoir by helping you use your senses in practiced and practical manners. These other books are rooted in descriptive examples but this book is rooted in prescriptive action.

What did you learn from The Power of Body Language that you would use in your daily life?

I learned that a most valuable thing you can do to influence people is to make your body language 'effortlessly attractive'. Step back while communicating with others by being present to critique that other person will reveal just how much 'leakage' in nonverbal communication is going on. Those clues are everywhere so the more signals you pick up on, the more likely you'll know what to do to control the situation (or to not control). I especially liked the parts about identifying genuine happy facial expressions!

Any additional comments?

The only thing which bothered me was the sheer amount of advice being dispensed. I can't remember it all so it becomes overwhelming. It would be nice to have from Tonya some kind of memnonic or framework for keeping most of this knowledge organized in my mind.

Better in print

Great information. Straight forward. But better as a reference manual in print than an audible book. I would give this 4 stars in print, but 3 stars in audio.
