Book Reviews of You Can Read AnyoneBook Review: YOU HAVE TO READ IT TO BELIEVE IT Summary: 5 Stars
I am giddy from this book. I think it's important to know exactly what you can do with these tools. So the entire table of contents is below with a asterick by my favorites! Also, a little about how the book works is added too. Not all of the technqiues are easy to use, but most are. Some admitingly go a little over my head, but my boss seems to have figured them out. Anyway, plenty here for even us average folks!

How to Use the Book
Section I of this book shows you how to speed-read other
people to quickly determine their basic thoughts, feelings, and
emotions. The system works with any person, place, idea, or
situation. For example, in just minutes you can determine if
someone is interested or not, confident or scared, being
honest, or hiding something.
In this section, we focus on seven major questions you
may have regarding another's thoughts and intentions by
using an array of real-life examples to illustrate how the techniques
are easily applied. Each chapter in the book contains a
variety of observational and conversational techniques.
In some cases, you will not be able to directly engage the
person from whom you need information in conversation. In
these situations, you'll use a strategy that employs a variety of
signs and signals. At other times, you'll be able to interact with
the individual in question, so more sophisticated strategies
can be used.
Section II comes into play when there are situations in which
you will want greater insight. In this section, you will learn
how to build a near-perfect profile of anyone, how to tell what
someone is thinking or feeling, and how to predict what he or
she will do next.
For instance, by applying the techniques in Section I, you
will be able to tell if your date is interested in you. Then, you
can later do a complete profile if you want to know how he or
she will respond to anything you say or do. When negotiating,
you can quickly measure the other party's levels of honesty
and confidence.
But if you want to know how he will proceed, how to measure
his flexibility, or detect his hot buttons, you can use this
psychological strategy to quickly and discreetly build a complete
profile.
Using specific, real-world examples, you will learn how to
tell whether a juror will be hard or easy to sway, if a guilty suspect
will confess or stick to his story, or if a person will be forgiving
or unforgiving when he finds out an unpleasant truth.
This book will teach you how to get to the bottom of any
situation, keep from being taken advantage of, and get the
upper hand with anyone, anytime--often in five minutes or
less.
Summary of You Can Read AnyoneHave you ever wished you could peer into someone?s mind to find out what he or she is really thinking? Now you can . . . really. This book is not a collection of recycled ideas about body language. It does not suggest that a woman?s hairstyle will give us unprecedented access into her soul, neither does it draw wildly ambiguous generalities about people based on our intuition or gut instinct, nor does it reach conclusions based on how she folds her hands or he ties his shoelaces. This book contains specific, proven psychological techniques that can be applied instantly to any person in just about any situation. Dr. Lieberman has demonstrated the ease and accuracy of these techniques on hundreds of television and radio programs. In a special report for FOX News, host Jeff Rosin declared, ?It?s simply amazing! I was with him and he was never wrong . . . not even once. I even learned how to do it and that?s saying something.? In fact, Dr. Lieberman has gone ?head-to-head? on live television, with skilled polygraph examiners and scored just as well?every time. You Can Read Anyone shows step-by-step exactly how to tell what someone is thinking and feeling in real-life situations. For example, you will see precisely how to determine whether another poker player will stay in or fold, whether a salesperson is trustworthy, or whether or not a first date is going your way or the other way. And when the stakes are high?negotiations, interrogations, questions of abuse, theft, or fraud-- knowing who is out for you, and who is out to get you (or a loved one) can save you time, money, energy, and heartache.
