Can We Truly Read What Others are Thinking Even Before They Say a Single Word?

Are we really capable of knowing what’s inside other people’s minds, what they’re feeling, or what their plans are?

The answer is YES — and it’s easier than you think! Keep reading to learn how to quickly and accurately learn everything about the people you meet.

How to Read People Like a Book is a compelling read that teaches you everything you need to learn about reading other people’s body language, learning their motivations, and uncovering their true intentions so you can foster deeper, more authentic relationships — anytime, anywhere!

Master the art of reading people like a book!

James W. Williams, master communicator and body language expert, has had a life-long fascination with shows like “CSI”, “The Mentalist”, and “Lie to Me”, mainly because they showcase characters who have quite a knack for figuring people out.

These people appear to have the mysterious ability to instinctively deep-dive into the WHYs behind people’s behaviors — to the point of even knowing what they’ll say or do next.

They have a way of communicating their intentions to really drive their point across. And, somehow, they can even quickly detect if someone is trying to manipulate or take advantage of them!

Is it a superpower? It may seem that way. But, in reality, it is a skill anyone can develop!

It’s one powerful, game-changing skill that can be strengthened with the right resources and How to Read People Like a Book is the perfect tool to help you do it.

Through James’s extensive research over the years, he uncovered the secrets about quickly and accurately figuring out every single person you meet — without even hearing them speak!

In this game-changing guide to reading people, you will:

Foster stronger relationships and know exactly what to look for by debunking myths and reinforcing facts that make reading body language a practical, accurate tool for success

Personalize your body language reading approach by learning about different personality types and how they behave

Express your thoughts better by speaking the right language, whether you’re talking to an introvert or an extrovert

Be a master communicator anytime, anywhere and leave the best impressions on both new and familiar people wherever you go

Decipher what people are truly saying and tell them exactly what they need to hear by learning what motivates them

Dig deeper and read between the lines when it comes to conversations with people from all walks of life and create a lasting impression

Make accurate judgments that positively impact your ability to connect based on the tiniest slices of details by learning the art of thin-slicing

Deep-dive into your true self and how you can showcase the best parts of your personality to connect and foster connections with others

✓ And so much more!

Knowing exactly what to look for and what to say to different personality types in different scenarios can feel daunting and even impossible. This book makes it all easier for you.

You will get a breakdown of all the ways you can develop the skills you need to speed-read people, uncover their true intentions, and – most importantly – make real connections.

You don’t need a psychology degree or have experience as a detective like the characters we’ve mentioned above. All you need is an open mind, a few minutes each day, and a copy of How to Read People Like a Book to effectively read and analyze people anytime, anywhere!

Review

"Firstly, let me say that I am a communication practitioner and journalist by trade and I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It is always good to read what fellow communication practitioners have to share about the practice, so, I bought this book to see what the author had to say about reading people. Spot on! About 70 percent of our communication is nonverbal, therefore, it is important to pay attention to nonverbal communication. The author lays out the importance extremely well. As the author noted, cultural communication is extremely important to be mindful of when analyzing verbal and nonverbal communication. This book is absolutely essential to understanding the basics on reading people. And, as the author pointed out, the key is to help you "connect" with people. So, buy the book and enjoy your learning experience on how to positivity connect with others. I strongly recommend reading this book!

One other small comment. If you listen to this book on audiobooks, much of the content in the book is not read on audiobook, as well as there is some additional information in some chapters in audiobook that is not in the printed book. I found this to be a bit odd. I started listening to the book before I received the printed copy and quickly realized the audiobook and printed book is not the same. I wind up just reading the print." -JD ★★★★★

"
The book start with an explanation of the different types of personality (If you done the Jung test you already know it). It is always good to see which one matches you better. It also address the Keirsey temperament sorter, something that I didn't knew until read it. Later on it gets even more interesting, when we are taught about how to read lies in people (what a useful thing!), face and body gestures and verbal cues.
After reading this book, you will not look for crossed arms in the same way as before." -Borba Souza ★★★★★

"
This book has some really awesome information. In my job, learning to read other people is extremely helpful. While more exception than the rule, some of these kids are thinking suicide. More than that, they have issues they cannot talk about. This book has been extremely helpful." -Dr. Patricia Eroh ★★★★★

"
Reading other people has always fascinated me, perhaps one of the most intriguing skills in this society. Knowing how to interact with those you are facing based on what you have previously managed to understand about this person, makes you one step ahead. If these abilities also intrigue you in the same way, I recommend you take this book!" -Giovanni ★★★★★

"

"
Great book, I learned a lot. Don't take it as powers for your evils , but a lot of tips how to interact better with people." -Marcin Kupinski ★★★★★

"
I found this a well-written, very informative and insightful guide to better perceive others' personality types, and the breakdowns of many different elements which influence introverts and extroverts were very interesting to delve into. Overall, I believe this may offer valuable situational and societal adaptation cues based on the wealth of information I have discovered. Now, to put it to practice..."-SBee Reviews ★★★★★

"
A fantastic book , packed with a lot of information, tips and practical advice. I loved the section on personalities and communication style as it now will help me understand people and where they are coming from. I am excited about the new knowledge I gained and I looking forward to use it to not only understand other people but to also do some self-evaluation. It's a must-buy for anyone who wants to interact with people with ease, confidence, fairness and style and win the game of dealing with every personality type successfully" -vandana ★★★★★
