I requested and received this book as a Christmas gift. Tonya Reiman is a regular on the Bill O'Reilly show. I absolutely love to watch these segments. I find it interesting how she analyzes what a person is really saying or feeling in spite of the words actually spoken.This handy little book will enable me to "know the hidden meaning behind specific gestures, facial cues, stances, and body movements". From now on no one will ever be able to pull the wool over my eyes again. I will also be able to tell when someone is lying, which I can usually do anyway.
Everyone take notice. The next time we are face to face having a conversation, I will be expertly analyzing what you are really saying. For example, when you tell me that you love my new Posh Spice hairdo, I will know that you are really thinking "she should have saved her money and stayed with the blond and gray flip."

Okay, that's it! The next time we meet for lunch at K & W, I'll be the one wearing a paperbag over my head!!!

Hey Peg, do you think this book would have helped you figure out about that $20 that was in the wallet you gave me for Christmas so many years ago?
After you finish the book I think you should do an analysis of the
'08 candidates. Is Hillary's NEW smile really that warm?? What about Rudy's shifting eyes??
O.K. I've forgotten the wallet story--refresh my memory.
Two books I read this year that I would recommend are A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hasseini--life as a woman in Afghanistan--he is a gifted writer and his first book, The Kite Runner, is out as a movie right now. Another book I read earlier in the year that has been out for awhile is The Red Tent--it's a historical novel about Jacob's (Old Testament) only daughter, Dinah. Both are great reads!!
Jane, sorry, but the K & W doesn't serve customers who wear paperbags over their heads. We'll have to go to McDonalds!
John, the book definitely would have helped me figure out the $20 wallet scam. I would have noticed your nervousness when you opened the gift and the fake look of surprise.
Chris & others, here's the wallet story. One Christmas years ago, a few days prior to the day, sneaky John unwrapped my gift to him which was a wallet. He stuck in $20 and then re-wrapped the gift. Then on Christmas morning when he opened it in front of everyone, he admired the wallet and then exclaimed "Wow, thanks for the $20, Peggy!".
I fell for it 100%. I knew I hadn't given him $20. I thought maybe someone else had left it in the wallet, returned it to the store and then I bought it that way. I was upset that I had over-indulged my brother and gave up $20. Soon after, I realized it was the classic John sting.
Her body language on the cover of the book definately says "I'm reading your body language."
Mike, I agree. Tonya's pose on the cover is a body language message!
Chris, in your comment you mentioned The Kite Runner. I read the book and loved it. I saw the movie today. I loved it, too. It follows the story perfectly.
Missy and I saw the movie the other day (we'd both read it)and Missy's comment was exactly yours. A Thousand Splendid Suns I think, is even better. He is such a great writer!
