Read People Like a Book: How to Analyze, Understand, and Predict People’s Emotions, Thoughts, Intentions, and Behaviors (How to be More Likable and Charismatic)

This book was interesting, spot on with accurate information, & easy to relate to & understand. I believe wholesouled, that watching other's behavior while listening intently, as often as you can, undoubtedly in time, gives you a good idea of what they are doing. Words may not always be truthful, yet the person's system, should alert others to see what the truth is. I really enjoyed this book, & I hope you do, as well.

Very interesting book. I had no idea. I feel it has helped me to understand others better. What I mean is…. Sometimes people say things and they are not admitting that there is a problem.People give off clues without knowing it. This book helped me have better communication.

I thoroughly enjoyed this read. King is incredibly insightful, making sure that the reader identifies that each of the skills/lessons/techniques discussed should be used in conjunction with one another, not as a “one stop solution”. The way that the book progresses makes it a fairly easy read. Each chapter builds off the next.The editing has plenty of room for improvement. The book was printed with larger text and wide margins which is not really an issue, just something I don’t see often in these types of books. There is at least one typo/grammatical error in every chapter. Going so far as that there was a “>” instead of a “?” at the end of a sentence. The typos were fairly major, sometimes where an entire word would be missing from a sentence. Not a major issue but a bit of a nuisance. Finally, I would say once every 2 pages there would be a line where the space between words was similar to that of pressing tab in between each word.Overall a great read and very useful book, I already ordered another book from this series.

I enjoyed reading this book, it has great insight into how us humans are always showing micro and macro expressions, would definitely recommend.

For most of the book, it kind of felt like it didn't really tell me or teach me anything I didn't already know or suspect about people and my ability to read them.What it did do was introduce me to a few new different ways of interpreting people's behavior, a few ways of possibly spotting lies (even though I already knew to listen to my intuition), and sort of help reaffirm the things that I already knew.But I think probably the most transformative and beneficial thing about the book was that it felt like an invitation to, instead of being afraid of people or assuming the worst about them or what they think of me, to instead be genuinely curious about them. And when you're genuinely curious about people, it's pretty hard to be afraid of them.I can be fairly neurotic most of the time, so I misinterpret different people's body language and facial expressions as being indifferent or hostile. But reading this book and really thinking about how people's body language works not only gives me the tools to see evidence that this proves my neuroticism, It helps me to become more genuinely curious about people. But also sort of acted like a mirror to see what my own body language might be communicating to people. How to be more aware of my own body language and see where it might be helping me or hurting me.For those who are socially clueless, this book is not a magic bullet that's going to allow you to just be able to tell everything about a person by looking at them or to keep you from being manipulated or rejected. But it gives you a lot of clues and tips that can help point you in the right direction to better refine how you express yourself and how to better understand others more deeply and more quickly.

"Read People Like a Book: How to Analyze, Understand, and Predict People’s Emotions, Thoughts, Intentions, and Behaviors (How to be More Likable and Charismatic)" offers an insightful exploration into the realm of human behavior, but it falls short of delivering a truly comprehensive guide.The book's strength lies in its attempt to demystify the intricacies of interpersonal dynamics. The author makes a commendable effort to break down the nuances of reading people, offering practical tips and strategies. The content is accessible, making it suitable for readers who are new to the subject.However, the promise of understanding and predicting people's emotions, thoughts, intentions, and behaviors is a lofty one, and the book struggles to fully deliver on this ambitious goal.

Some concepts are presented in a superficial manner, leaving the reader craving more detailed insights and real-world examples.Additionally, the title suggests a focus on enhancing likability and charisma, but the practical applications for achieving these qualities are somewhat limited. More concrete advice on improving social skills and fostering genuine connections would have been beneficial.The writing style is straightforward, but at times, it lacks the engaging and dynamic quality that could have brought the subject matter to life. The book could benefit from a more engaging narrative to keep readers consistently intrigued.In conclusion, "Read People Like a Book" is a decent introduction to the art of understanding human behavior, but it doesn't fully live up to its ambitious title.

Nice

Although we may all have experienced situations in which people involuntarily disclosed their inner thoughts and values, it’s much more difficult to systematically analyze all the bits and pieces of their behavior and collect them to a meaningful picture. This book provides a number of hints how to solve this puzzle. A nice read.

Me gusto, fácil de leer y entender. Creo que para comprender muchas cosas está genial, ahora siento que se puede ser un poco mas especifico y profundo en los temas.Tiene muchas referencias de donde se sustentan las ideas y eso a mi me parece excelente ya que tiene una base o fundamento.

Bonne qualité

Great read! Thought provoking in its simplicity, yet highly educational and easy to understand. One of the best books I’ve read this year!
