I've read several books on body language, and didn't learn much. Now I know why. The books were missing the critical dynamic components and visualization. This DVD presents the basic framework from which one can then learn much more. I'm often critical of books, and believe this DVD did an outstanding introduction.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, yet covers only a niche segment, December 30, 2010

This review is from: Secrets of Body Language (DVD)

I have read many books on Body Language but i didn't help me a lot. Those are really goods such as "Secrets of Body Language" by Allan Pease. The reason is i didn't know practical applicability of those signs.


This DVD is a great one, they have taken Professionals to give review and all you have is a first hand information. The examples they use are famous personalities and made this show very interesting. The DVD goes on without boring.

The only downside is they cover only a niche segment, mostly Political leaders, Criminals. It would be more interesting if they would have taken business deal environment and Courtship signals, that would be more practically helpful for general public to decipher the hidden meaning and avoid day to day havocs.

I picked this up for the classroom on reccomendation and can truely say it was an excellent choice. The current examples of today's pop culture icons and their body language kept the students riveted and I heard animated discussion. The narration had concise information and the interviews were interesting. This is an excellent addition to any library on Body Language. History Channel provides excellent videos...this is definately one of them.
