Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Dated but Interesting Comment: This book provided a ground-breaking introduction when it first arrived in 1970. Who wouldn't like to be better at reading other people by their body positioning, gestures, and other non-verbal cues? I remember reading it a few years later as a young teen hoping to gain insight into success with girls. After all, the author describes in the early pages a man who picks up women based on his ability to read their body language. Somehow I never gained those lady-attracting skills suggested by the book's provacative cover, and these pages seemed based on anecdote, common sense, and opinion rather than on scientific research. Still, the book has a pleasing readability, and provides an interesting introduction to a subject of great interest - and one many of us wish we were better at. Customer Rating: Summary: Thorough, but very outdated. Comment: I'd much prefer Alan and Barbara Pease's current and up to date book Body Language. Customer Rating: Summary: Sexist and Homophobic Comment: It should also be noted that this book is blatantly sexist and homophobic and though a bit antiquated (yes, first published in 1970: but still, it's not the book's context but rather the author's fault) I still find it offensive and uninsightfult. Customer Rating: Summary: When the Body Speaks, it is Wise to Listen! Comment: The premise of this book is that communication between individuals occurs largely through body language. Excellently written and insightful about the fascinating world of speaking through one's actions instead of words, this book has many interesting and useful ideas...even if only to remind us of the importance of body language. Although written close to thirty years ago, Body Language remains a classic. Understanding body language gives a person an important communication tool. For example: Knowing when someone is upset without asking because of his or her body posturing can reduce miscommunications. Learning to read another person's body language and modifying how we interact is powerful stuff!
