 Save Your Money In 3 Seconds Or Less July 7, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is very poorly written and contains only basic information on body language.
Not sure how anyone could possibly consider this to be a business book. The examples given are questionable and not backed by proof. I was very disappointed and should have paid attention to other reviews before spending time on this dud.
Save your money - in 3 seconds or less - and don't buy this book.

There is absolutely NOTHING in this book that can help you "Read Anyone in 3 seconds or less". If you are past the age of 12 and have an IQ of more than 20 then this book is not for you. The title of the book is decieving. All this info in the book is of such basic manner I'm suprised it sells. And even MORE suprised this guy does seminars. There is nothing new (as also posted by someone else) in regards to gaining good insight into Body Language.

Save your money. This is a very boring book. Spend an hour with your favorite search engine on the internet and learn much more than this book has to offer.

KH writing style is clear. He gives interesting examples and even throws in humor, occasionally. What he also is good at is marketing and hype. Consider that the first 15 reviews are all 5 stars. All unbiased and unsolicited I am sure. Aren't you?
Reality: the book is barely over 200 pages. It is suppose to be about nonverbal language in business, but the chapter starting on page 155 is about parenting, and there's little else of value to follow. A book on nonverbal behavior is full of illustrations and pictures, right? Nope,
not this book. It is 100% words. A book about the power of nonverbal signals doesn't use a single nonverbal signal itself, except for the cover--big eye, wide pupil--to get you to buy. That is what is most important, right?
Not one footnote. Want to read the study yourself? Doubt the correctness of his generalizations? Too bad for you. The only reference in the entire book is to an article on his website; however, the content posted is about a different topic. Specifically, he makes this huge claim that he has "made hundreds of thousands of dollars" by just choosing to sit on the right hand side of right-handers, and then references an unrelated article. Hummmm.
Really believe all those 5 star reviews? Then buy this book.
If you want an alternative, I suggest Allen and Barbara
Pease's book, The Definitive Book of Body Language. It is full of illustrations and pictures, 400 pages, at the same price.
Best regards,
Michael
